Hi, Roy Witt!
I read your message from 05.07.2013 09:19

 ak>> This question is for native speakers.
 ak>> When you read in a newspaper Russian second names, like
 ak>> Dudikoff, Karloff, Degtereff where do you put an emphasis?
 ak>> At the beginning of the name or at its end?

 RW> No emphasis...they all seem to be two sylable names, except
 RW> maybe the last one could be three.

 RW> Dudi-caugh
 RW> Kar-loff
 RW> Deg-tereff or Deg-ter-eff

Until this moment, I thought that every word in English has its proper
emphasis. Sometimes a word can have two emphases....

Bye, Roy!
