Pronunciation notes

This is a class 1 stem, meaning that it does not carry an inherent accent in its structure. Its accent, however, is realised in two different ways:

  1. With a high-falling tone in the last syllable when isolated;
  2. Varies depending on the surrounding morphemes in a compound.
