sentences:  Bengali words are virtually all trochaic; the primary stress falls on the initial syllable of the word, while secondary stress often falls on all odd-numbered syllables thereafter, giving strings such as "shôhojogita" ('cooperation').The first syllable carries the greatest stress, with the third carrying a somewhat weaker stress, and all following odd-numbered syllables carrying very weak stress.However, in words borrowed from Sanskrit, the root syllable has stress, out of harmony with the situation with native Bengali words.
