Here are some more common examples of the seven tones: | |||

| Short low || {{xl|kog}} || country (''[[kokkaf]]'') | | Short low || {{xl|kog}} || country (''[[kokkaf]]'') | ||
|} | |} | ||
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}}. | |||
