They are [[Domsol]], and the ending is Gong Yin or Andrew; [[Radomie]], the ending is a public sound, an angular sound or a feather sound;

[[SolDoRe]], the ending sound is a business sound or a logo sound. There are also some Dai folk songs that use the [[Solado]] modal backbone framework. The lamentation, called "Be careful to call the sea" in Dai language, was sung by the mother and daughter when the girl got married, and the lyrics showed their reluctant feelings. Religious songs are characterized by close intonation. In addition, there are hypnotic songs and nursery rhymes.
