Description:Elicitation session to find out tones on nouns. I asked Sammy to make sentences with some nouns, with and without 'definite' suffix. Every now and then I asked if a specific other sentence was also possible. I also asked Sammy to whistle the sentences. This session was designed to find out more about the tones on these nouns, in particular whether they change or not. In the end it doesn't look like I got the right data to check if the tones of the nouns change when followed by a high tone. When I asked for sentences without 'definite' suffix, I often got the noun with demonstrative 'ya' which seems to change the tone of any preceding syllable to extra high. I did get some sentences with the noun without suffix followed by something else, but often they seemed only marginally acceptable. Questions were asked in English, words and sentences were given in Avatime.
