This is because the pronunciation of ⟨ y ⟩ depends on whether or not it is in the final syllable . </P> <P> Stress on penultimate syllables is characterised by a low pitch, which is followed by a high pitch on the (unstressed) word - final syllable . In words where stress is on the final syllable, that syllable also bears the high pitch . This high pitch is a remnant of the high - pitched word - final stress of early Old Welsh (derived from original penultimate stress in Common Brittonic by the loss of final syllables); the stress shift from final to penultimate occurred in the Old Welsh period without affecting the overall pitch of the word . </P>
