Nouns in the Iki Katsumoto dialect have two types of accent systems ; one is the oxytone, and the other is the proparoxytone. However, there is only one type of accent system in 1-mora nouns. Compound nouns also have two types of accent systems ; one is the oxytone, and the other is the proparoxytone. When a 1-mora noun is independent, the accent has only one type. However, when it becomes the second element of a compound noun, a potential distinction between the oxytone and the proparoxytone is maintained. By observing the rule of compound accents, it becomes possible to point out the internal reconstruction of the pitch of the past 1-mora nouns.
