- å¹³æ¿åã«ãªã
- å°Ÿé«åã«ãªã
Accent is usually on last mora of number except for those bolded. This set of counters regularly have their accent on the number side and drop before the counter. This change that shifts the accent over is caused by é·é³ãä¿é³ãand ã³. This category is popular among 1-kanji-character counters. New counters usually fall in this type.

- Changes when being modified in front
- Changes to verbs when combined
- å¯è©çã«äœ¿ããšå¹³æ¿åã«ãªã
There are several words that loose there accent when connected to ã®. This change occurs in two places:
- for å°Ÿé«å words ãïŒïŒ¬ïŒ
- for words that have a äºéæ¯é³ (diphthong) or double sounded vowel at the endããã®ããããšãšãã
However this pattern does not apply to words relating to numerals, counters, or order. Another time this pattern may not occur is when under the influence of a silenced vowel. Also some words may occur as either their original form or new form. Since the original form has a fall early in the phrase, the original form is used a lot for emphasis.
Silenced vowelsïŒæ¯é³ã®ç¡å£°åïŒoccur for rows ã段ãand ã段 intersecting with columns ãè¡ããè¡ããè¡ãã¯è¡ãã±è¡, but only when they come before those columns. Simply put, if the vowel that comes between any combination of kã»sã»tã»hã»p, is 'i' or 'u' it will automatically become a whispered (voiceless, silenced, etc..) sound. Ex: ãã¡ k(u)chiãã¡ãã ch(i)karaãã€ã ts(u)kiããããã s(u)kiyakiãã ãã²ãšã dareh(i)tori

There are spots where the accent (äžããç®) is harder to place.
An accent is harder to place following a long vowel (é·é³) or a syllabic nasal (æ¥é³). In principle placing the accent after either is avoided. There are exceptions to this; like this YouTuber saying ã³ãŒã³è¶ (ã³ãŒïŒŒã³ã¡ã).
The accent is harder to place on the 'i' of -ai [-kai, -sai, -tai, etc...].
The accent is harder to place on the mora of a devoiced vowel. Like åªè¶æ (yuuets(u)kan, ãããã€ãããORããããã€ïŒŒãã).

ãã«ãŒïŒãã«ïŒŒãŒïŒbecause it's 3 mora long and ends with a long vowel
The accents are split depending on the pattern the word will fall in to.

However there are many exceptions (that will be flat). The aaccent will occur on the 2nd mora from the back but can shift if the accent lands on a long vowel or the 'i' in '-ai', When pertaining to 2 mora verbs there are about an equal degree of both: flat and accented. A verb by itself will never have an accent on it's last mora. However in gramatical structures that is possible.

However there are some exceptions (that will be flat). The aaccent will occur on the 2nd mora from the back, In the case of 2 mora adjectives those would be head accent (é é«å). An adjective in this form by itself will never have an accent on it's last mora; even in gramatical structures.
