===Stress and accent=== | |||
Like most Nentan languages, High Karanesa has pitch accent. The stressed syllable, or "root", forms the base of the pitch contour, while adjacent syllables are affected by it. Most other syllables have a mid or "neutral" tone. There are three different pitch patterns: | |||
* Plateau tone: the accented syllable is high, and the following syllable is high-falling. If the second syllable is stressed, most High Karanesa dialects also give the preceding syllable a mid-falling pitch. | |||
* Valley tone: the accented syllable is high-falling, and the following syllable is mid-rising. | |||
* Summit tone: the accented syllable is low-rising, and the following syllable is high-falling. | |||
Some dialects appear to have a fourth tone, with no standard name but often called "open ocean tone" or "anti-plateau tone." The accented syllable is low, often lower even than summit tone, and the ''preceding'' syllable is mid-falling. This is associated with an onset backed /k/, which is why it is debated whether or not this is a phonemic tone. If it is one, then High Karanesa is tied for the most pitch accent patterns in the [[Nentan languages|Nentan family]]. | |||
