There are two marked accents: | There are two marked accents: high-pitch and low-pitch. High pitch uses an acute accent (á) and low pitch uses a grave accent (à). Words could have one accent, both accents, or perhaps even no accents. Different dialects had different accent systems which makes them difficult to reconstruct. | ||
:: ''<strong>N.B.:</strong> If you see a word has no accent marked, that's probably because I forgot to actually assign accents to words when making the lexicon. So, uh... whoops? Just assign whatever accents you want, I guess.'' | |||
<!--There is also a neutral accent. After an accented syllable, all subsequent syllables may use the same pitch until the next accented syllable. Thus: | |||
* tatáta = NHH (or LHH) | * tatáta = NHH (or LHH) | ||
* tátatà = HHL | * tátatà = HHL | ||
* tatatà = NNL (or HHL) | * tatatà = NNL (or HHL)--> | ||
