Pronunciation[edit]

As for Tonal Class, Armstrong (1940) classifies this term into njata class which includes njata, gĩkabu, gĩtara, ithanwa, kĩihũri, etc.[2] Benson (1964) classifies this term into Class 7 with a disyllabic stem, together with njata, and so on. Clements (1984) classifies this term into “HLHL class” corresponding to Armstrong's njata and ðiimbo classes (e.g. itũũra), and Benson's disyllabic 7 and 8 (e.g. matũũra (“plural of itũũra”), thani), together with matũũra.[3]
