   “[T]he fact that a lexically specifiable subgroup of etyma from within the whole group of *creaky phonation etyma split off tonologically is not surprising by itself, but rather the fact that the tonological outcome of such a development is one of blurred and opaque relationships within the resulting tone pattern.”

   “In some cases, tenses keep this tone contrast, in others these tones are neutralized by either assigning tones to non-toned verb stems or by deleting tones, making all types of verb stems look the same tonologically speaking.”
