 b. Examples occur of a present participle in the same situation. In about half the (accentuated) instances, it gives its own accent to the compound: thus, etc.,  etc.,  etc., ; in the others, the accent is drawn forward to the final syllable of the participle (as in the compounds with governing participle: below, 1309): thus,  etc. ( also occurs as adverb),. With these last agrees in form attaining old age, long-lived; but its make-up, in view of its meaning, is anomalous.

a. Examples with other numerals than and  are:.

b. Exceptions in regard to accent are but few, and have the tone on the final syllable, whatever may be that belonging originally to the final member; they are mostly stems in final, used by substitution for others in , , or a consonant: thus, etc. ( or : 431),  etc. ( or : 430 a),  etc. ,  etc. ( or ),  etc. ; but also a few others, as.

c. The compounds with and  for the most part have the accent of their final member: thus, for example, ;. A number of words, however, follow the general analogy, and accent the numeral: thus, for example,, and sometimes and  in AV. As in the other numeral compounds, a substituted stem in is apt to take the accent on the final: thus,  and, ; and a few of other
