Rationale: H and L tonemes can be assigned to one syllable when a monosyllabic noun with a H lexical toneme appears before a pause with the floating L tone before a pause, so that the floating L is docked unto the H-toned syllable to the left.

Rationale: L and H tonemes can be assigned to one syllable, in particular, when the article (represented by a floating L) is docked upon the final syllable of a H-tone noun.

Rationale: /H/ can share one syllable with /L/ when the floating L is docked onto the preceding syllable.

Rationale: H and L tonemes can be assigned to one syllable when a monosyllabic noun with a monosyllabic /H/ span is followed by the floating L tone.

Rationale: /xH/ can share one syllable with /xL/ when the floating xL is docked onto a syllable carrying /xH/.

Rationale: /M/ can share one syllable with /xL/ when the floating xL is docked onto a syllable carrying /M/.

Rationale: /L/ can share one syllable with /xL/ when the floating xL is docked onto a syllable carrying /L/.

Rationale: When the floating xL is docked onto a preceding syllable, /xL/ shares one syllable with all level tonemes, with the exception of /H/.

Rationale: High toneme can bhe assigned to one TBU (with the L toneme): 1) in the perfective form of the verbs ye 'to see' and kɗɛ̄ 'to do': ã́ kɗâ 'I made it' and 2) to the postposition ɗà: kpáá ɛ́ ɗâ ‘under the shed’.

Rationale: L toneme can be assigned to one TBU (with the H toneme): 1) in the perfective form of the verbs yē ‘to see’ and kɗɛ̄ ‘to do’: ã́ kɗâ ‘I made it’ and 2) to the postposition ɗà: kpáá ɛ́ ɗâ ‘under the shed’.

Rationale: HL on one syllable results from a H tone spread and is realized superficially as M.
