[Explanation] On the right of word, writing a way to read that is separated into each syllable. About on the second syllable. Please see the second syllable carefully, it has in the first place or not. Because a tone of the second consonant changes according to a tone of the first consonant. In actually, as follows. The first consonant The second consonant A change of tone middletone lowtone change hightone lowtone change middletone middletone no change hightone hightone no change When the first consonant is the middletone or hightone and the second consonant is the lowtone, a tone of the second syllable changes to hightone. This explanation is hard again, but I don't remember above a tone of consonants. After all we must remember word by word to hear and speak. [Classification of tone of consonant]
