[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Maybe a tonal difference as well? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] andres_os@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago Not tonal, but pitch accent difference. The first and last words (紙 and 髪) are indistinguishable by pronunciation, both are flat (pitch accent 平板 or 'flat'). For the second word (神), the pitch accent descends for み (pitch accent 頭高 or 'head high'). permalink fedilink source parent
