家出
いえで
- 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).
running away from home
Iede is 家 (ie, “house”) plus 出 (de), the stem of 出る (deru, “to go out, exit”).
