description Stress in vowel-final non-verbs in Spanish regularly falls on the penultimate syllable, while stress in consonant-final words regularly falls on the final syllable. There are two main classes of exceptions to this regularity: stress on the syllable preceding the regular one, and stress on the syllable following the regular one.

I argue here that there is much to be gained from this stronger claim, including a simple and elegant analysis of the first class of exceptions.
