 '''Full Arguments''' is a proposal to merge the {{tone|6}} and {{tone|7}} tones (say, into {{tone|6}}).

 The difficulty with this proposal is that there are a few verbs which make sense both as adverbs and prepositions, for example {{t|ào}} and {{t|ão}}.
-== Auto-terminating clauses ==
+This has more-or-less been adopted in Toaq Delta as {{done|4}}.
-A similar idea sometimes rolled into the name Full Arguments is that of '''auto-terminating clauses'''.
-The idea is that you don't need to say {{t|cy}} when a subclause verb has all its arguments filled.
-You know that the next argument must belong to the outer clause, because the inner clause can't take any more arguments.
-{{Example|Mẻoca {{blue|lôı súq nháo}} jí.|{{blue|The fact that you hate them}} saddens me.}}
-It would be ungrammatical for {{t|jí}} to be a third argument to {{t|loı}}, which is "full" — so it must be a second argument to {{t|meoca}}.
