 However, there are certain types of phrase, notably those in the form 'noun + of + noun', or 'verb + location', where downdrift does not occur, and instead all the syllables in between the two lexical high tones link together into a 'plateau', in which all the vowels have tones of equal height, for example "mu maséréngétá gá Úgáńda" 'in the south of Uganda' or "kírí mú Úgáńda" 'it is in Uganda'.Plateauing also occurs within a word, as in "Kámpálâ" (see above).A plateau cannot be formed between a lexical tone and a phrasal tone; so in the sentence "kíri mu Bunyóró" 'it is in Bunyoro' there is downdrift, since the tones of "Bunyóró" are phrasal.
