I want to know the answer to the following question:
Where can one look for memorization clues concerning accent positions?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Comparative and historical linguistics offers some clues for memorising the accent position: If one compares many standard Serbo-Croatian words to e.g. cognate Russian words, the accent in the Serbo-Croatian word will be one syllable before the one in the Russian word, with the rising tone.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
