Line 1,742:

OED2 is followed here. However, several dictionaries also mark full (unreduced) vowels as having secondary stress when they come after the primary stress, even though they are not actually stressed: ''cerebrate,'' dict.com {{IPA|/ˈsɛrəˌbreɪt/}}, OED2 {{IPA|(ˈsɛrɪbreɪt)}}. This practice is avoided on Wikipedia; if you have a word transcribed {{IPA|/ˈCVˌCV/}}, it should probably be {{IPA|/ˈCVCV/}}: {{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|ɛr|ɪ|b|r|eɪ|t}}.
