毎朝
まいあさ
- head-high (atamadaka): falls after mora 1
- 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).
every morning
Maiasa is 毎 (mai-, “every”) plus 朝, read either あさ (asa) or ちょう (chō).
