Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly.

before a vowel also hygr-, representing Greek ὑγρο-, ὑγρ-, combining form of ὑγρός wet, moist, fluid: extensively employed in Greek; the English compounds are mostly scientific terms of recent formation. The chief of these are hygrometer n. and hygroscope n., with their derivatives. Other words in hygro- are the following: The υ in Greek is short, and the etymological pronunciation would be /hɪɡ-/; but the tendency to take y as long i, has in this, as in other cases, prevailed against the etymology.

† hygroˈbaroscope n. [see baroscope n.] Obsolete an instrument for measuring the specific gravity of liquids; a hydrometer.
