How does word stress usually work in native Scandinavian words?

In native Scandinavian words, stress is typically placed on the first syllable. While there are occasional exceptions for compound words, this pattern remains consistent across the language group, with the notable exception of Icelandic and certain East Norwegian dialects, which strictly maintain stress on the first syllable of all words regardless of their origin.1

Stress on a later syllable in Scandinavian languages generally indicates that a word has been borrowed from another language.1
