Pitch accent with の

 * In 言葉の the の doesn't have the expected low pitch but remains high (as though the word were heiban). This can easily be verified on Youtube, for instance here (the same speakers attaches が and は low). This doesn't apply to all odaka words so probably the pronunciation section should be expanded to include this kind of irregularity. &mdash; Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 14:30, 3 July 2022 (UTC)


 * (vastly belatedly) I had a look at the video, and the ことばの that she says at about the 2-second mark has a noticeable downdrop in voice pitch between the ば and the following の. Is it that the drop is not as much as you expected?  Or are you not hearing a drop at all?  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 21:17, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
