目論見
もくろみ
- flat (heiban)
- tail-high (odaka): 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).
a plan, a scheme, intention
Mokuromi is the continuative stem of the verb 目論む (mokuromu).
