Usage notes

[edit]

All accent patterns in Japanese may be described as either 平板式(へいばんしき) (heiban-shiki) or ()伏式(ふくしき) (kifuku-shiki). While ()伏式(ふくしき) (kifuku-shiki) is further divided into (あたま)高型(だかがた) (atamadaka-gata), 中高型(なかだかがた) (nakadaka-gata), and ()高型(だかがた) (odaka-gata), there are no subcategories to 平板式(へいばんしき) (heiban-shiki). When contrasting with (あたま)高型(だかがた) (atamadaka-gata), 中高型(なかだかがた) (nakadaka-gata), or ()高型(だかがた) (odaka-gata), it is customary to use the word 平板型(へいばんがた) (heiban-gata) to avoid the inconsistency of comparing (がた) (-gata) with (しき) (-shiki).
