I need to figure out what happens with the resulting tones after I collapse my obstruents to /p pʼ t tʼ ts tsʼ tʂ tʂʼ tɕ tɕʼ k kʼ q qʼ ɸ θ s ʂ ɕ x χ/. Obviously the resulting tones will not be attached to the vowels in the roots, because the vowels in the roots are easily dislocated from their original positions. I first will need a notation for marking tone in roots, as tone will be associated with the consonants and not the vowels, maybe I will continue marking down roots as if they had voiced consonants just as a notation for marking tone (old voiced consonant = low tone, old voiceless consonant = high tone).
