The next instrument for consideration is the Act of Sedurunt—
It is pronounced "sederunt".
You are all saying the word differently. I will pronounce it "sederunt", with the stress on the first syllable, because I will remember that.
I would stress the first syllable.
I would stress the second syllable.
That is because you are a Latin scholar.
I would not call myself a Latin scholar.
Would members like to vote on this issue?
Margo MacDonald and Murdo Fraser are applying a rule of thumb that does not apply to the Latin word "sederunt", which is pronounced with the stress on the middle syllable.
"Sederunt" means "they who are seated".
In a polysyllabic word, the accent should be on the antepenultimate syllable.
That should get in a column somewhere.
So the word should be pronounced with the stress on the first syllable.
No—because it is Latin, it should be pronounced with the stress on the second syllable.
No points arise in relation to the Act of Sederunt (Summary Applications, Statutory Applications and Appeals etc Rules) Amendment (Detention and Forfeiture of Terrorist Cash) 2002 (SSI 2002/129).
