| | :I can remove the extra macrons as a matter of simplicity, but absolute mid pitch ''is'' what macrons are used for in IPA, no matter how counterintuitive that might seem. It's sort of like how IPA unexpected uses the diaeresis to mark a vowel as more centered. Circumflex and caron have specific meanings too. See [[Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet#Diacritics]] and [[Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet#Suprasegmentals]]. {{IPAchar|/ȁ à ā á a̋/}} are absolute pitch distinctions relative to the entire IPA sample. {{IPAchar|/ǎ â/}} (global rise and global fall respectively) are only relative to the previous pitch. We've been using {{IPAchar|/à ā á/}} instead of {{IPAchar|/ǎ â/}}, because the unaccented vowel tokens are completely agnostic about relative nearby pitch, but using {{IPAchar|/ǎ â/}} would not make this possible, such that πόλις = {{IPAchar|/pǒlîs/}}). But using absolute pitch marks, πόλις = {{IPAchar|/pólīs/}} or, as you may prefer, {{IPAchar|/pólis/}}. And although it may be strange to put a diacritic over {{IPAchar|/ː/}}, it's not impossible if {{IPAchar|/ː/}} is an elongation of the previous vowel, such that {{IPAchar|/aː/}} is essentially equivalent to {{IPAchar|/a͡a/}} as a diphthong of itself. But I opted not to use tie markers in the redesign because it makes pitch diacritics more complicated to place...ultimately I did away with the ties and just use {{IPAchar|/./}} to separate immediately adjacent vowel syllables. | | :I can remove the extra macrons as a matter of simplicity, but absolute mid pitch ''is'' what macrons are used for in IPA, no matter how counterintuitive that might seem.

| − | :In the Ancient Greek pitch accent, ''as I understand it'', the pitch change only happens on one vowel mora and only lasts for one vowel mora, and then immediately reverts for all remaining vowels. For acute or grave pitch, it only falls on the final vowel mora of the syllable, and none of the vowel morae before it in the same syllable. With tilde pitch, it only falls on the penultimate vowel mora of the syllable, and none before the penultimate and none on the final. For one mora vowels, there can only be {{IPAchar|/ā á à/}}. For vowels of two or more morae, the possibilities are {{IPAchar|/āā āá āà áā/}}. The combination {{IPAchar|/áà/}} cannot work as you may expect, because IPA strictly defines {{IPAchar|/à/}} as an absolute low, and not a relative drop (which is {{IPAchar|/â/}}. - [[User:Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]] ([[User talk:Gilgamesh|talk]]) 00:25, 30 May 2012 (UTC) | + | :In the Ancient Greek pitch accent, ''as I understand it'', the pitch change only happens on one vowel mora and only lasts for one vowel mora, and then immediately reverts for all remaining vowels.
