  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, /Vao/ is not given special treatment in this system and remains initially stressed.
  3. 3.0 3.1 Stands for final /j/, /w/, /ŋ/.
  4. Special-cased since it shifts stress.

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