  • 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).

disqualification, elimination, incapacity (legal)

JLPT N1Commonnoun (common) (futsuumeishi)noun or participle which takes the aux. verb suru漢語 · Sino-Japanese
