Not suitable for normalization. The difference is too large this is not one of the normalization conventions.
Note on 新借 tones, this is a written convention not a spoken one, the actual spoken tone for modern loans (新借) varies from dialect to dialect. Since entering tones become second tones in south-western mandarin then they are written as second tones ~z. However, in a particular dialect the actual tone used would be whichever is closest to the second tone in south-western mandarin
