  • níaı mäı hóa jí cy = "the animal who loves me"

cy is not necessary if the word that immediately follows can terminate the content clause. For example, cy is not needed before da because da already ends the sentence.

Falling tone falling tone

Also marks any non-initial word in a serial. In serials (think "unit" of words), only the first word of the serial changes tone. The rest stays in falling tone. In the example below, only the word kúo changes to rising tone. The remaining kảto is in falling tone.

  • Dủa jí ôcha jí cy da. = "I know that I am human."

  • nèo míao = "on the moon"

tu cỉe every fish
sıa cỉe no fish

baq cỉe fish (in general)
hı cỉe which fish?

  • Gỉ ro hủı baq hảq da. = "Food is either good or bad."
