In English, we have chosen to term the initial phonation that conditioned the first phonation-based (3-way) tone split ''protoechesis'' (from πρῶτος 'first' + ἤχησις 'sounding'). The initial phonation that conditioned the second phonation-based (2-way) tone split (which caused Bri to double its number of tones from a 12-tone stage) is called ''deuteroechesis''; for deuteroechesis, voiceless consonants are denoted - and voiced ones are denoted +.

We'll use the term ''deuteroechesis'' more because protoechesis is transparent in Proto-Keric. | ||
