I've implemented a solution for phonology that crosses word boundaries
around 10 years ago, I was helping a researcher with kind of spreading
tone stuff, I'm not sure if it's totally applicable here though. The
solution that was also hacky I made back then was to just implement the
tone change as free variation in morphology and default to remove it in
cg rules, but if I understand correctly, your case actually assimilates
the previous word away so it's not exactly the same and the apertium ~
feature might be better for that.
