I've just started learning (2 lectures in at uni), and I have some questions about accents and long/heavy syllables. The rule is, if the penult is long, accent that. But in my book (Swedish: Tidner, Latinsk Grammatik) there was the example of the two words in the title, where the antepenult is also long. I can't imagine it's pronounced Vocaabaamus, Amiicoorum, it's just too clunky and surely wouldn't have survived daily use. So, how are they pronounced, and what's the rule (or just maxim)...
Vocābāmus, Amīcōrum. What's the pronunciation and rule?
