I feel very stupid asking this, but in the accent on the first or second syllable in "Der Zor" ? (it's for a poem I'm writing about the Armenian Holocaust)

Dir Zor.Plenipotentiary meow! -
Are you telling me that I've misspelled it? ??? or that the accent is on the first syllable? (everywhere I've come across it on the internet, it's spelled "Der Zor" or "Ter Zor")Comment

complete brake-down
Der Zor
D: as heard in daniel
E: as heard in ben
R: as heard in car
ZOR: as heard in zoro (neglecting the O)
You can find it written by T as Ter Zor because of the Eastern Armenian accent difference, but in both cases its read the same ...Comment

I think Araxi is asking which vowel should be emphasised:
"e" or "o" in the words "Ter" and "Zor"...Comment

in that case, the answer is "e"Comment

I never thought it would be this complicated, my apologies!
I think I may have my answer now - the question was, is the stress on the first syllable, as in DER' Zor, or is it on the second, as in Der ZOR'?
You know, look in any English dictionary, and it will tell you where the stress or stresses for any particular word falls. Or, to use a non-English example, in the name Araxi, the stress is on the second syllable - it's pronounced a RAX' i. It would just sound wrong if for example you put the stress on the last syllable (a rax I')
make sense now?
Not stress on vowels per se (although it may translate to the same thing) - but stress on syllables. So, I'm reading this response as saying that the stress is on the first syllable?Comment

no need for apologies Araxi,
answer: yes its on the first ... on "Der"Comment

Of course stress falls on the syllable.I was just trying to make your queston more specific
And we all know stress can only fall on a vowel of the syllable, never on the consanant
And although "Ter Zor" together sound like one word I would say they are two one-syllable words...
