The word "esdrújula", for example. How many examples do you need?

I had to look it up what it meant and in case anyone else comes along who doesn't know either, it means words that have the stress in the third syllable starting from the end of the word.

In which case I guess these would fit the bill smile

cá-sca-ra, má-xi-mo, tó-ni-ca, lám-pa-ra, tér-mi-no...

All words where the stress falls on the anti penultimate syllable.

I think it's the third syllable from the end actually Ken, rather than the second to last. :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 28, 2011
Yes I should have said antipenutimate. - kenwilliams, Jun 28, 2011
antipenultimate - pesta, Jun 28, 2011
antEpenultimate, otherwise you are saying "against penultimate" :-) - gintar77, Jun 28, 2011
