{{rad-pr}}
* {{IPA|rad|/{{rad-IPA|vat}}/}}
** As a predicating verb, it is a phonological enclitic when directly following the predicate, regardless of spelling. This means that ''vancí vagú'' (“they are ill”), although primarily stressed as two separate words, constitutes one phonological word, i.e. {{rad-IPA|vancí-vagú|format|nolarge}}, not *{{rad-IPA|vancívagú|format|nolarge}}).
*** This means that it acquires secondary stress on the final syllable {{tipa|[ˈvantsiːvaˌɡuː]}} for most speakers, which also contributes to modern Radestrian poetics. Compare {{m|rad|vagú}} when it is not an enclitic, which is stressed as {{rad-IPA|vagú|format|nolarge}}.
