I have a question about the Siouan accent rule that I should know, but don't. Generally, Siouan accent likes to go on the second syllable. Also, Siouan vowels are sometimes long. Does a long vowel count as one syllable or two for purposes of the Siouan accent rule? If we have a word with the vowel of the first syllable long,
cvvcv
should Siouan accent it as
cvvcV
or as
cvVcv
?
Thanks,
Rory
