=== Possible new tone scheme ===
On 21 August 2022, Hoemaı mentioned trying to settle on a new tone scheme.
# {{tone|1}} — adjunct (adverbs and prepositions)
# {{tone|2}} — nouns or bound variable
# {{tone|3}} — allotone of {{tone|7}}; alternatively if adverbs and prepositions stay separate, it would take one of those functions
# {{tone|4}} — tail of a serial
# {{tone|5}} — relative clauses
# {{tone|6}} — main verb
# {{tone|7}} — content clauses
# {{tone|8}} — particles
# {{tone|9}} — allotone of {{tone|6}}
