Accentuation in early Malay and Javanese epigraphy

The paper deals with long vowels in early Old Malay and Old Javanese epigraphy. It is argued that long vowels in inherent wordstock marked stress in Old Malay, hence the shift of the length, resp. stress, if a suffix or enclitic is added to a stressed word. Words lacking the marker of vowel length were phonologically unstressed like Japanese atonal zenhei forms. In early Old Javanese the length was etymological and diacritics showing vowel length could not be used, as in early Old Malay, as stress marks on etymologically short syllables. However, if, due to word formation processes, two long vowels emerged in a word, only the second retained length mark; stress shift akin to that of Old Malay was probably taking place. It appears that both early Old Javanese and early Old Malay were characterized by tonal system of accentuation with sliding tonal platforms.
