温まる
あたたまる
- middle-high (nakadaka): falls after mora 4
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 warm oneself, to get warm
温まる is built from あたた, the root of 暖か (“warm”), plus まる (“to become (an adjective), -en”).
