"Fact" + "Word"

Japanese sources traditionally treat 事 (koto, “fact, abstract thing”) as cognate with 言 (koto, “word”). How does this compare with Korean 것 (geot)? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 01:19, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Pitch accent

@Chuterix, differences in pitch between koto [2] "thing, speech" and kataru [0] "to tell" would be expected simply from the shift in mora structure and part of speech, no? Consider グーグル [1] vs. ググる [2], or older 屑 [1] vs. 崩す [2], 粒 [1] vs. 潰す [0], etc. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 23:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
