Related: Dissecting つく verbs
There are many verbs which are pronounced つく, and I was simply wondering: Do their intonation patterns differ?
If so, what are the intonation patterns of the most common forms of つく in Tokyo dialect?
Common: 付く、着く、吐く、突く

I pronounce all of them as High-Low, but this may be either the Nagoya dialect or the Tokyo dialect. Someone should be able to answer more clearly and definitely.– Tsuyoshi ItoJul 20, 2011 at 12:29

The NHK pronunciation dictionary prescribes that:
- 付く, 着く, （羽根を）撞く, （職に）就く, （嘘を）吐く, （位に）即く, （明かりが）点く, and （餅を）搗く all have the accent on the first or second mora (with first preferred: HL)
- 突く has no accent (so in isolation it is LH, but note that this is not the same as accent-on-the-second-mora LH when other words follow)
Hope this helps!

Sort of. Yes, it's the NHK 編 日本語発音アクセント辞典, but I have an edition published in 1985 with a blue-and-gray cover that claims to be a 改訂新版.– MattJul 21, 2011 at 1:42
