Drubea register #

The stems of Drubea with their register tiers, as [Lio25] transcribes them after [Riv73] and [SP90]. A stem is its syllables and, on each mora, the register nodes it bears: none, or the downstep [-raised] (Tone.TRN.downstep, the source's l). No stem bears a tone feature or an upstep. The postlexical upstep, the boundary features, register copying and the three stem patterns the tiers instantiate are the analysis and live in Studies/Lionnet2025.

The entries are the source's minimal pairs and triplets, its illustrations of stem shape, and the stems, affixes and function words of the glossed utterances it transcribes with pitch levels; each docstring gives the example number. Where one syllable string carries several tiers, the entries are named by gloss. The stem is the source's free-standing monomorphemic lexical item, so pronouns and markers are stems and affixes are listed apart; compounds are built from their members in the study. Loanwords, whose syllable-internal downstep falls in a non-final syllable, are listed apart. Unlike vowels in sequence are heterosyllabic and like vowels a long vowel, following the source. cv and cvv are a light and a heavy open syllable.
