A Tonal Taxonomy of Chungli Ao Verbs<br />

APPENDIX B: SUMMARY TABLES<br />

The following tables summarize the tonal taxonomy of stem classes and<br />

subclasses developed for Chungli Ao verbs. Table 21 presents the tone patterns<br />

of the three classes as they pertain to bare stem, preterite, irrealis, and present<br />

verb forms. Table 22 displays the alternate stem tone patterns of each subclass<br />

under trigger-suffixation. (Periods represent syllable boundaries, while dashes<br />

indicate stem-suffix boundaries.)<br />
