Roadmap
I The focus of this study is nominal tone in Nata.
I Specifically, I propose that Nata deploys three cophonologies,one for each tone type, which metrically assign tone to a noun.
I Cophonologies are morphologically controlled.
I In Nata nouns, the noun stem is indexed to one of the threecophonologies.
I These cophonologies control the tone placement for theinflected noun.

Canonical nouns
I Canonical nouns display a three way contrast in tone position.
(10) a. Tone type I has a high tone associated to the secondsyllable of a word unless the first syllable of the word isheavy, in which case the high tone is associated to theheavy word initial syllable.
b. Tone type II has a high tone associated to the thirdsyllable of the word.

Nata as a stress system
I I analyze Nata as a stress system where high tone represents the mostprominent syllable in a word.
I A stress based analysis can account for the following properties of Nata:
(23) Definitional properties of stress systems (?)
a. Obligatoriness: every lexical word has at least one syllable markedfor the highest degree of metrical prominence
b. Culminativity: every lexical word has at most one syllable marked forthe highest degree of metrical prominence
I Nata nouns satisfy both obligatoriness and culminativity.I Across all three tone types, every noun has at least one syllable associated with
a high tone and no more than one syllable.

Implications
I In compound stem contexts, we predict competitionbetween the stem tone types.
I Specifically, one member of a stem-stem compound isdominant and consistently determines the tone type.
I [Stem A]I + [Stem B]II = [Compound]I(Stem A = Head)
I Alternatively, stem-stem compounding introduces its own tonetype as it is a morphological construction (and morphologicalconstructions may be indexed to cophonologies).

Overview Morphology Tonology Analysis Discussion
Implications
I Since noun stems are not the only morphemes which can beindexed to roots, Nata could have affixes which shift thetone type of a word.
I This appears to be the case in the verbal system where certaintense and aspect morphology can change the tone type of averb.
