special
note
This word contains an initial consonant cluster which does not follow the general clustered consonant tone rule, either because the second consonant in the cluster is a mid- or high-class consonant, a non-sonorant low-class consonant, or because it is an unaccounted exception to the rule.

Consequently, as shown in the phonemic transcription result, the tone of the syllable as a whole is determined by the consonant class of the second consonant in the cluster, not the first.
