With few exceptions, the tone indicators (''f'', ''x'', ''r'', etc.) are placed immediately after the vowel.
Here are some more common examples of the seven tones:

As you can see, the tone indicators (''f'', ''x'', ''r'', etc.) are placed immediately after the vowel. One exception is: when doubling the letter in the curving-up tone of compound vowels, the letter ''a'' takes precedence, even when it doesn't sit at the very end of the vowel. For example: {{xl|jidthaau}} & {{xl|na'aau}}.
