I got a mail from the lamb who was slain He said in this mail That you cannot fail Because you are not the tail Retain that which you've obtained Cos when there is no pain There won't be any gain You are the head And not the tail You are on top Therefore you cannot fail No weapon fashioned against you shall prevail And your labour for all these years Will never ever be in vain!

E.g. ENter, ENvy, Open, Equal. However, a two syllable verb that ends in the diphthong (әu) is stressed on the first syllable  If the last syllable contains a long vowel, diphthong or more than our consonant stress it. If the last syllable contains a short vowel or not more one consonant stress the second syllable e.g. resuRRECT, enterTAIN, enCOUNTER, deTERmine B (i) Nouns of two syllables Stress the first syllable if the second syllable contains a short vowel otherwise stress the second e.g. MOney, PROduct, LArynx, eSTATE...
