stress

[John Dingley]

Hi,

Would some native-speakers of Russian care to give me the benefit of
their views on this old chestnut?

1. dve osnovnye zadachi ~ dve osnovnyx zadachi
As far as I know, dve osnovnye zadachi is much more common today?
However, dve osnovnyx zadachi would not be considered wrong, but
maybe old-fashioned?

2. dve vysokie gory ~ dve vysokix gory
If one says dve vysokix gory, I assume the stress on gory is always
ending stress, i.e. gory'.
But if one says dve vysokie gory, where now is the stress on gory?
Is it ending stress, i.e. gory' or stem stress, i.e. go'ry?
