見送る
みおくる
- flat (heiban)
How to read it: a line over a kana means the voice is high there, and ↓ marks where it drops. A kana with no line is low. With no ↓ the pitch stays high to the end and does not drop even on a following particle (が, は).
to see off; to escort; to let pass
Miokuru is 見 (mi, “seeing”) plus 送る (okuru, “to send”).
