The basic rule for stressing an LFN word is:
- If it ends with a consonant, stress the last vowel.
- If it ends with a vowel, stress the second-last vowel.

So "natur" and "mesura" are both stressed on the U.
No accent marks are necessary.

LFN vowels are not normally nasalised. A listener who isn't
familiar with nasal vowels might misunderstand a nasalised
"ponte" (= bridge) as "pote" (= be able to), for example.
