Apparently there's a corresponding word for each in English too, so there's oxytone, paroxytone, proparoxytone and... over-proparoxytone o-0Oooooh!!!
Oxítona, paroxítona and proparoxítona?
I never heard of these interesting names 0wo
In spanish we call them in order:
Aguda
Llana o grave
Esdrújula and
Sobreesdrújula. instead :3
Hehe funnily enough, spanish also works that way too!
We have unaccentuated words also!
Like
Este (1st to last)
But in spanish we have some rules like:
Oxítonal words are always accentuated if they end in N, S or in any vowel. and never if they lack those letters:
Aguará Guazú
Saldrán
Estás
Actriz
Perdiz
Visor
And others I can't think of :3
Paroxítonal words are Only accentuated when they don't end in N, S, or any vowel:
Compiten
Planetas
Computadora
Bermúdez
....(?)
And from the proparoxítonal words and beyond (eoproparoxítona?.. Sobreesdrújulas) always require an accent!
But these rules aren't absolutive
There's some exceptions like with Lexical accents:
El ≠ Él
Or dipthong breaking:
Laúdes
Paleontología :3
This is very interesting hehe
And I've just learned about similar alternative nomenclatures "aguda", "grave" and "esdrúxula" in Portuguese (latter one can also be something extravagant/outlandish, the only meaning I was aware of).
I can feel how overextravagant sobreesdrújulas words are to me!
Awww girl that's a shame D: *relieved Guifrog pops up inside a thought bubble, saying "aaaay no more lava deaths"*I'm working on a new character because I ruined mav xD
