This can be summed up thus: (code /201-/) 3) When more than two syllables precede the main stress (code */00-/), consult the nearest deriving form (= the root word). The main stress of the deriving form becomes the secondary stress of the derived form:
character /100/ characteristic /20010/; eradicate /0100/ eradication /02010/
