Appears to me that what he really meant to say is that: the vowels of syllables which take the main stress of a word are always stressed.

Hello Donald,

According to Geoffrey Khan, Vowel Length and Syllable Structure in the
Tiberian Tradition of BH, "the vowels of syllables which take the main
stress of a word are always long." He gives as an example of a seghol
the word מלך in Ex 6:11 which is transcribed in Arabic as مالخ.
