Comments:

Aghem has two level tones. A falling tone is
derived when high spreads to a following low tone
syllable. Long vowels and diphthongs seem best treated as
vowel sequences. They carry a single tone but often
derive from affixation or loss of intervocalic consonants.
Phonetic [p] is analyzed as the allophone of /kp/ before
[u].
