The stress pattern for the word cumulative ought to be on the second syllable and not the first

The word *cumulative* is pronounced with the stress on the third syllable (cu-mu-LA-tive):

/kjuːˈmjuːlətɪv/ (kyoo-MYOO-luh-tiv)

The emphasis is on the "LA" part.

The stress should be on 'LA' not 'CU'.

the rule to apply here is a word ending with -tive should be stressed on the first syllable.
so it is not LA. instead CU
