When there is use of the high melody, the last syllable is about a minor third higher pitch than the second-last syllable. The first syllable with stress is usually a major second higher than the following syllables are except for the last. All other syllables may not be spoken with any kind of pitch, and the same goes for other unstressed syllables. For example, "ta'čiyak ʔura'pʔikʔahčá" "You will kill the squirrel" shows the melody. "ta'-" is a major second higher than the syllables that follow it except for "-ča", which is a minor third higher than any syllable that comes before it other than "ta'-".
