These facts are restated as output constraints in (28). There are a number of ways to typologize tone systems by inventory.

The last rule, HL-L → H-L might appear to be a simple case of absorption. More speci cally, tone encodes morphemes, and intonation gives utterances a further discoursal meaning that is independent of the meanings of the words themselves.
