Are there any general rules for guessing the pitch accent of 1/2 morae compound- or 2- mora nouns in compounds?

Are there any general rules for guessing the pitch accent of 1/2 morae compound nouns?

I've already looked up here but so far most are only concerned with 3 or 4 mora suffixes or are overly specific. I'm looking for a generic rule I can apply for compound suffixes made up of 1 to 2 morae.

An example of what I want to predict would be か\んしゃ ==>かんしゃ\さい and け\いざい ==> けいざいき\ぼ andしゅ\と==>しゅと\けん and せ\いび ==> せいびほ\う.
