# The third tone split (12 tones to 24 tones) was based on the phonation distinction that had arisen after prenasalized initials became voiced ones.

In English, we have chosen to term the initial phonation that conditioned the second initial phonation-based (2-way) tone split (which caused Bri to double its number of tones from a 12-tone stage) as ''~~deuteroechesis~~'' (from Greek δεύτερος 'second' + ἤχησις 'sounding', because the latter word uses the root Greek uses for 'voiced' and 'voiceless' as in voiced and voiceless stops). For ~~deuteroechesis~~, voiceless consonants are denoted - and voiced ones are denoted +.
