Summary/Abstract: Although antroponym accent types fit into our presodic system there first are some that deviate from its standards. Falling accents in other than the sylables are not unusual in the antroponyms of the Moslems of Visoko: Djenïta, Sanèla; Uèir, Abdulhak, and specially those of the type of Teufïk, Sabaduhîn, Abdurahman; Jakub, Farûk. This pre-accent quantity is also characteristic of the feminine gender antroponym accent types: Âlèma, Badèma, which agree with the prosodic system of this idiom.
