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}}.
As you can see, the tone indicators (''f'', ''x'', ''r'', etc.) are placed immediately after the vowel. To indicate the curving tone of a compound vowel, normally its last letter is repeated. The exception is when there is an ''a'', it is the one repeated, even when it doesn't sit at the very end of the vowel. For example: {{xl|jidthaau}} & {{xl|na'aau}}.
