Accentuation
Accent falls on the penultimate syllable unless that syllable is short otherwise on the antepenultimate. The length of the antepenultimate syllable is irrelevant.
Of course if there are only two syllables then the accent must fall on the first.
Syllable length
Syllables are long if they contain a long vowel or a double vowel (diphthong) or if the vowel precedes two consonant sounds (including doubled consonants).
Note that some letters count as two consonants even though written as one (x) while some count as one even thogh they are written as two characters (ch, ph, th).
