The superlatives formed with the prefix gui and the affix i always have the accent on the penult, without regarding where it was in the primitive. As [[46]]

The collectives follow the way in which their primitives are accented, so, if their, primitives have the accent on the penult, they have it on the penult, and when the primitives have the accent on the last syllable they also have it on their last syllables. As
| from | bátà | (child), | cabatáan |
| | baláy | (house), | cabalayán. |
