Adverbs of place

As for all adverbs, the stress here is invariable. It is worth noting, though, that where two or more adverbs have been derived from the same word, and have slightly different meanings, the stress may be different (see вгорі́, вго́ру). Some related adverbs have the same stress e.g. куди́, туди́, сюди́.
