Stress Rule
Stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable due to the word ending in a consonant other than 'n' or 's'.
- The pronunciation of 'c' before 'i' as /θ/ is a Peninsular Spanish feature; in Latin American Spanish, it's typically pronounced as /s/. This doesn't affect syllabification but impacts phonetic realization.
