May 29, 2019 at 7:32 comment added herisson @BazAU: In some traditions, words like "proceeds" are transcribed with some stress on the second syllable: /ˈprəʊˌsiːdz/ (Balogné Bérces Katalin calls this "tertiary stress", in contrast to the more widely recognized secondary stress that occurs on a syllable preceding the accented/primary-stressed syllable). I made a post about it here: english.stackexchange.com/a/433879/77227
