 It is time for me to remind you about tone changes again. 

The tone of the last character in a multi character word does not change its tone. Tones 1 and 7 also do not change tone.

bag8gai5 will change tone to bag(4)gai5 and similarly bag8hang6 will change to bag(4)hang6 and the same for the other words with tone 8.

As for lêng5ghua7 - tone 5 will change to tone 7 and hence it would be lêng(7)ghua7 and similarly for for ki5ta1 will change to ki(7)ta1

Here are tone sandhi tables which I have published elsewhere and I am sharing with you again.
