tone unit वाक्य

Moreover, the two-tone unit comes in a variety of metallic hues : designer silver with faux-wood trim, raspberry parfait, blue ice, creme de menthe and butterscotch cocoa.
The nucleus may be preceded by a " head " containing stressed syllables preceding the nucleus, and a " tail " consisting of syllables following the nucleus within the tone unit.
If words like these are spoken in isolation and so form their own tone unit, then one of the two stressed syllables will be the tonic accent and the other just plain stressed.
