Stress question

[Richard Robin]

One thing to keep in mind is that the OVOJ/OVYJ ending is often a matter of
free variation. For example, there's the metro station SepuxOvskaya (as all my
acquaintances pronounce it), but the metro recording insists on SepuxovskAya. I
have also heard variant stresses for semestrOvyj/-ovOj. There must be a bunch
of others besides jazykovyj (supposedly 'tongue') vs. jazykovoj (language).
