This article describes and analyses the verbal tone system of Khayo, a previously undocumented dialect of Luyia (Bantu, Kenya and Uganda, J. 30). It provides a systematic account of the tonal marking of tense-aspect-mood-polarity and clause type distinctions on verbs as well as tonal alternations triggered by H-toned prefixes and by prosodic differences in the verb stem. The primary analytical challenge posed by the Khayo data is accounting for cross‑melody differences in the application of tonal rules ; there are many contexts in which rules motivated for one melody fail to apply in another melody, even though the phonological environment is met. The analysis here accounts for these differences as the result of morphologically specific ton...
