Notes

Note that [²] is not a tone marker:

“Modern Tani languages exhibit two different equations corresponding to -at in Mising and Padam. This indicates that the -at rhyme in Padam-Mising L has two distinct origins in PT. In the absence of Tani-internal evidence for a more precise distinction, two kinds of -at rhymes are tentatively posited for PT, -at¹ and -at²“ (Sun 1993: 202).
