Well, now that you've changed the Web page, there is no question
what the stress is:

# Stress in Brithenig is placed on the penultimate, or second last
# syllable. Monosyllables are stressed if it is open, or without
# any following consonants, or followed by one consonant or ch, dd,
# ss or th. 

So [brI 'Te nIg] it is, spoken in the land of ['ke mEr] and elsewhere.
Alddarestaya will have to re-learn.
