Remarks:
* words ending with ka-tra-na : accent on the first syllable for a three syllables words
* exceptions: poketra
*words from French: bottes, Tshirt, shorts,tennis shoes, pantalon,
*compound words: fehy tenda= fehitenda= " hi" is not pronounced, not even i , so it has three syllabes, it has two stress accents
* ba from the French " bas" ( put on the lower part of the body) : it is seen alone ba for sockets, but since it is too short people add kiraro: the copound word has two accents
*kapakapa is the reduplication of kapa: sandal , so it has two stress accents
