Stress
The second-to-last vowel is always stressed. Prefixes and Suffixes do not apply in the vowel count. Loan words do not use this rule.

Use of H
An "h" is placed in between two vowels when they are directly next to each other. The "h" is silent, but represents the fact that the two vowels are making two different sounds.
