===In noun forms=== * bukéeye > umuɲábukéeye * mwáaro > umuɲámwaaro The examples show a way of [[derivation (linguistics)|deriving]] from place names nouns with the meaning 'a person originating from'. In the first example, the place name ''bukéeye'' has a high tone on the second syllable. The junction with ''umuɲá'' ('person from') has no influence on this tone. In the second example, a place name with a High tone on the first syllable is used. Like above, the second high tone of the resulting pattern of two adjacent high tones is changed into a low tone because of the phenomenon described by Meeussen's rule.
