note: "According to Ngaradoumbaye 2017: low tone and middle tone are the most frequent, high tone is always marked with acute, low tone is only marked with grave when there is an ambiguity. ABT 2004 does not used ə ɛ, but uses ĝ in at least one word repeated a few times. Ngaradoumbaye 2012 do not use ə ɛ either but does use ê."
