Llano: where stress falls

Question

There seems to be a divergence between the RAE dictionary online (http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/) and SpanishDict on where the stress falls in a 'llano' word

RAE: llano

10. adj. Fon. Dicho de una palabra: Que lleva el acento prosódico en la penúltima sílaba; p. ej., ámbar, imagen, mañana. U. t. c. s.

SpanishDict: llano

5. stressed on the last syllable (grammar)

Both dictionaries have 'agudo' as meaning stress on the last syllable and 'esdrújula' for a word stressed on the ante-penultimate syllable.

Sadly, it seems to me, the beloved SpanishDict hasn't got llano quite right.

Answer 1

You should write to feedback to let SpanishDict know that this is wrong .

Ok - will do. I'm too much a beginner to do that without first consulting the community. - chorlito, May 25, 2011

Answer 2

1. stressed on the last syllable (grammar)

That's just plain wrong.

Is it? I don't even understand what is being said anyway! ;-) - Destroyed99, May 25, 2011

If a word has the stress in the las syllable, it is called "aguda" (e.g. "amAss"); if the stress is on the penultimate syllable, it is called "llana" (or "paroxítona") - lazarus1907, May 25, 2011
