- ↑ Includes the continuation tone (belonging to non-initial syllables of multisyllabic words).
- ↑ magı’s alternate system where hiatus tones do not reduplicate any vowels, but leverage existing hiatuses in the word. In addition, /Vao/ is not given special treatment in this system and remains initially stressed.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Stands for final /j/, /w/, /ŋ/.
