CHRYSOLORAS

Note that the places of the acute are three: the final, the penult, and the antepenult; the place of the grave is the final; of the circumflex, the final and the penult.
Furthermore, note that a word having the acute or the grave on the final is called oxytone sharp-toned. That having the acute on the penult is called paroxytone near-sharp-toned and barytone deep-toned; that on the antepenult is called proparoxytone before-near-sharp-toned and barytone.
Furthermore, that having the circumflex on the final is perispomenon circumflexed; on the penult, barytone and perispomenon.
Note that if the final is long, a word cannot be proparoxytone.
Before two syllables, or if it is someone's referring to a specific case of word formation, a circumflex is not placed, but an acute is always placed. Above a naturally long vowel, a circumflex is not placed, but an acute is always placed. A long vowel before a long vowel is not circumflexed, but always has an acute.
Every naturally long vowel before a short final vowel, being in one part of speech and having the tone on itself, is circumflexed.
