Pardon my ignorance, but I was wondering about that. When
Ivs^ic''s law causes withdrawal of the stress from a weak
yer to the preceding syllable, that syllable receives
neo-acute intonation. But what intonation does the next
syllable receive when the stress is moved forward from an
initial weak yer? Apparently, in Slovak (though not in
Czech or Polish) dU``cer- > dcé:r-, with lengthening of /e/
(neo-acute?). In kc'i^ / hc^i^, the intonation remains
falling, but what happens when the newly stressed syllable
is not final?
