heres the rules for it.
- Assign high pitch to all moras (= syllables, except that a long vowel is two moras, and a final -n or a double consonant takes up a mora too) (not definite yet on the endings, etc, currently working on just sullables.)
- An accent is either a 'lone high vowel' "i, e" or some (all?) consonants +i, e. eg: ke, ki, re, ri, ne, ni, me, mi.
- the moras after the accent are low.
- endings that end with consonant +h is low.
- if the second moras is high, the first is low.
- all acents are high.
an example is one of my few 'formed words'
Ghilëadh (fortress) [GHIL: house] ë [ADH:strong].
- (3 moras) HHH
- accent = ë so HHL
- the adh is already low, so no change.
- the second moras is high, so the first is low LHL
