+# According to the pinyin definitions I've been able to find:
+# 'a', 'e' are the preferred bases
+# otherwise 'o'
+# otherwise last vowel
+# The trailing form of syllables are the following:
+# "a", "ai", "ao", "an", "ang",
+# "o", "ou", "ong",
+# "e", "ei", "er", "en", "eng",
+# "i", "ia", "iao", "ie", "iu", "ian", "in", "iang", "ing", "iong",
+# "u", "ua", "uo", "uai", "ui", "uan", "un", "uang", "ueng",
+# "ü", "üe", "üan", "ün"
+# so the letters the tone will 'hop' are:
::NFD (NFC);
