sentences:  Also, in a declarative sentence, the stress is generally lowest on the last word of the sentence.Adding prefixes to a word typically shifts the stress to the left; for example, while the word "shobbho" ('civilized') carries the primary stress on the first syllable, adding the negative prefix creates "ôshobbho" ('uncivilized'), where the primary stress is now on the newly added first syllable "ô".Word-stress does not alter the meaning of a word and is always subsidiary to sentence-level stress.
