It should be noted that several phonological processes
produce a wide variety of phonetic realizations for the
various units charted above. Since the NgyembDDn language is
spoken in a region where French is the official language,
the NgyembDDn orthography has been modified to include the
writing of various allophones. The following orthographical
symbols are currently in use:

The P3 (and P2) tenses with non-progressive
imperfective aspect are unusual in that both positive and
negative paradigms undergo an identical modification. In
section 2.3.3. above, we posited that all of these
constructions undergo a transformation which takes the L
tone echo vowel imperfective suffix from the verb root and
affixes it instead to the tense marker (see (559) below). A
later morpho-tonological rule would apply to the tones of
the verb stems, resulting in tonal neutralization between H
and L tone verbs, as in the positive P3 examples below:

The negative counterparts to the preceding sentences
have the unusual H tone attached to the end of the /teL/
NEG marker instead of at the beginning of the progressive
marker. The derivation of these sentences is discussed in
detail in section 2.3.5. above. Our paradigm is realized as

As can be seen above, the REPR marker can signal
progressive meaning on its own or in combination with the
regular PROG marker. The NEG parallels also carry the realis
tones on the verbs, and are realized just like their positive

negative morpheme /teL...wDJ/, with the /teL/ immediately preceding
the REPR marker /sseJd/, as in the paradigms below:
