Boundary Tones

At least three boundary tones have been observed in the data I've collected:

L% can be observed on the final word in the LH contour example.
H% typically ends yes/no questions.
A bitonal boundary tone, (LH)%, and possibly a tritonal boundary tone (LHL)%, are found in tag questions.
