''khix'' is pronounced in the high short tone ([[KQchiog-Ym]]) when followed by another word. For example, in "{{tts|Lie beq khix tøfui}}?", the "khix" will be spoken as "khih". Normally a [[Extut-Ym]] (Low Falling Tone) word will [[tone sandhi]] into [[Sioxngtut-Ym]] (Shouting-Out Tone).
''khix'' is an exception to the normal [[tone sandhi]] rules. It's pronounced in the high short tone ([[KQchiog-Ym]]) when followed by another word. For example, in "{{tts|Lie beq khix tøfui}}?", the ''khix'' is spoken as ''khih'' (as if it was originally ''khiq.'') Normally, a Tone 3 (Low Falling Tone, [[Extut-Ym]]) word will change into Tone 2 (Shouting-Out Tone, [[Sioxngtut-Ym]]). Note: ''beq'' ([[bøeq]]) is yet another exception.
