Correct stress when pronouncing “covet”

When pronounce word “covet” should I give stress to “o” or to “e”?

I searched Emma Saying channel for this word and there are two videos with different pronunciation so I’m not sure if this source is even correct.

Answer

Just try a few more sources such as https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/covet – you’ll see that the stress in covet is on the “o” in the vast majority of the cases. It seems that Emma Saying channel simply made a mistake.
