In Latin, the stress accent is alway remains on the first syllable of the word.
****
"is alway remains"
Glurps.
Please confirm.
I have not been taught that language at school.

Glurps? :) Yippurs, always remains. Check any standard Latin grammar
under stress accent.

Erh

The original issue is about short vowels becoming long when pre-tonic!?

This word does not address this issue at all.

I was responding to this statement:

I find it hard to believe that an unaccented vowel could be lenghthened !?

This is unheard of.

I took this to mean that long vowels could not stand in unstressed
syllables. You apparently were talking about "pretonic vowels" becoming
long, as part of a linguistic process?

However, lookee what I found:
