Talk:Крк

@Atitarev, Wikitiki89, Cinemantique Where's the stress in this Russian word? On the р or the ending? Benwing2 (talk) 20:44, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

• Terrible word for us! Possibly, it should be pronounced like [kərk] or [kɨrk]. So the stress is somewhere between к and р.--Cinemantique (talk) 21:07, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

In Russian only vowel can be under stress. If the word doesn't have any vowel, it doesn't have stress. Additionally, stress sign is only placed in the words with at least 2 syllables, and this one only has one syllable. So IMO stress isn't applicable for these two reasons.

A vowel can be there even if it is not written. I would assume this has stem stress throughout the declension, with the stress on whatever vowel is inserted into the stem in pronunciation. We could just put the stress mark on the р́. --WikiTiki89 21:43, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

@Yurivict, do you know how many syllables the word кс-кс-кс has and which is stressed? I really don't want to see р́, but if we don't use the accent mark it means the stress in Крка falls upon а.--Cinemantique (talk) 22:14, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

I know it's not pretty, but what else can you do? --WikiTiki89 22:24, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

I also think we can use "Кр́к" in this case to avoid ambiguity in inflected forms, e.g. "Кр́ка". --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:21, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

@Atitarev, Cinemantique, Wikitiki89 I want to fill in the pronunciation section but I'm not quite sure what to put. Should we say something like {{ru-IPA|phon=Кырк}} or {{ru-IPA|phon=Кəрк}}? Benwing2 (talk) 13:57, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Benwing2 The pronunciation of the word is unregulated. All these are possible but people will pronounce the way they think it should be pronounced, their abilities and knowledge of languages, [kɨrk], [kərk], [krɨk], [krək], [krk] are all possible variants, IMHO.
