I have trouble with sub- (and super-). Where does the main stress go when I modify a word with those prefixes? It seems there isn't a consistent rule. For example in "subset" and "subscript" the stress is on "sub", but I'm sure there are a lot of other words that don't change the stress. Here are a few examples...
Subdomain
Subnetwork
Subchapter
I suspect that only short names allow the shift (like "set" or "graph"), but longer names (like "domain"), adjectives and verbs don't change the stress.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
