Description: 5 words or short phrases in Kikuyu with their tone marked in Armstrong's system. The image has been edited to focus on the Kikuyu words and align them. Armstrong's glosses and description of tones are: horse "mid, high, fairly-low—all level tones" Didn't he finish? "mid, high-mid fall, low, low fall" No, I didn't read it "high, low-mid rise, mid, high, high-mid fall, mid" Do call Wambogo "mid, high, low, low fall, very-low fall" Do please hurry up "mid, mid, high, high-low fall"
