  1. ↑ Includes the continuation tone (belonging to non-initial syllables of multisyllabic words).
  2. ↑ magı’s alternate system where hiatus tones do not reduplicate any vowels, but leverage existing hiatuses in the word. In addition, /Vaw/ is not given special treatment in this system and remains initially stressed.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 Stands for any of the three permissible codal consonants – /j/, /w/, /ŋ/ – which turn a preceding /u i o/ into its allophonic variant [ʊ ɪ ɔ] respectively, as well as eliminate any lengthening.
  4. ↑ Special-cased since it shifts stress.

Phone-based mora counts ([V] = 1 mora; [Vː], [Vx] = 2 morae; unchanged by magı’s alternate system):
