There's no official rule yet about which vowel of a diphthong to stress. I think 
that, in a stressed diphthong, the first vowel of a falling diphthong and the 
second vowel of a rising diphthong should be stressed: éi, ió, uí, iú.

There is no rule about stressing cmavo, except that, if stressed, a cmavo 
before a brivla may need to be separated from it by a pause. E.g. "lókratáigo" 
= "lokra tai go" (crustacean like iff) but "ló.kratáigo" = "lo krataigo" (a 
hawthorn).
