Abstract
Wergaia, an extinct language in Australian Wimmera region, exemplifies a generalized trochee language wherein heavy syllables generally do not bear stress, except when in final position in an odd-parity word to preserve a regular rhythmic alternation. This paper reviews the Wergaia stress pattern and provides a program in Python to model its local weight sensitivity in metrical parsing.
