'Ináwah technically only has two tones (high and neutral), but adjacent, identical vowels with contrasting tones may produce rising or falling tones with long vowel length in lax speech. A high tone is the marked tone and is denoted in romanization by an acute acent above the vowel and by a bar in native orthography. | 'Ináwah technically only has two tones (high and neutral), but adjacent, identical vowels with contrasting tones may produce rising or falling tones with long vowel length in lax speech.

==Phonotactics== | |||
===Allowed Syllables=== | |||
*CV(h,j) | |||
*ʕ(syllabic nasal) | |||
===Phonological Rules=== | |||
nasal > ʕ + syllabic / $_$ | |||
j > i / V_$ | |||
===Syllable Stress=== | |||
*High tones always get primary stress. | |||
*If there is a word with all identical tones, the ultimate syllable receives primary stress. | |||
*In the event that there are varying tones, the last high tone receives the primary stress. | |||
