Since Rav Zarruvo has six tonal patterns -- high, low, rising, falling,
rising-falling, and falling-rising -- six marks are needed.
In my normal system (and here's why my PDF document tends to run afoul
of everyone else's computer) I use diaresis (or umlaut), macron, acute,
grave, circumflex, and breve (or cup) for these, respectively. (The macron
and breve are the *really* hard ones to get, especially in HTML.)
When posting here, I usually either forget about the marks (if I'm just
posting a word or two), or follow each vowel with a mark: :_/\^| (again, in
the same order).
