You still have a few hours! =)

Since I *still* don't know what the contents of your wikiextract script 
is, I can only assume that the "-verbose" option is ignored if you use 
it like that. What I meant was that you should add the "-verbose" option 
to the "java" command that is presumably somewhere in that script.

But that's beside the point; if you want help with this error, please 
provide the complete contents of that script, line-by-line.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it will indeed take some effort to get 
secondary stress fully supported in Mary.

Best wishes,
