  • horse "mid, high, fairly-low—all level tones"
  • Didn't he finish? "mid, high-mid fall, low, low fall"
  • No, I didn't read it "high, low-mid rise, mid, high, high-mid fall, mid"
  • Do call Wambogo "mid, high, low, low fall, very-low fall"
  • Do please hurry up "mid, mid, high, high-low fall"

Licensing

Public domain
The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright. This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
Public domain
Non-photographic UK works published posthumously are in the public domain in the UK, and not subject to URAA restoration, if
  1. work published posthumously, before 1945 and
  2. author died 20 years or more before publication
In this case, copyright expires 50 years after publication, which is 1995 or earlier.
