MLT
From the Explanation on Concise Atonal Spelling and TMSS Dictionary (2001-2003):
- The hyphen (-) which binds two words into one, makes the preceding word be pronounced with or without tone-change. The selection of whether the last tone of the preceding word is to be changed in regular way is up to the speaker at differing situations.
Thus, the hyphen may imply but not guarantee exemption from tone sandhi.
