Answer:

the primary accented syllabe in the pronunciation of the word: Glomerulus is:

"mair"/meru.

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand why mair or "Meru" is the primary accented syllable we need to remember two rules of accents. First. words with more than 2 syllables have an accent and large words or words with more than 2 syllables have two types of accent. Therefore, the primary accent is usually rooted in the second double consonant. that is why in our case we have it in the second syllable.
