Pitch of 「見た目より」


Consider the sentence

> 鈴木さんは& **見た目より** 若く見えますね。
>
> Mr. Suzuki's not as old as he looks.

According to my dictionary:

  * 見た目 has Atamadaka pitch
  * より is a particle (so should be down-pitched here)

Yet according to [OJAD](https://www.gavo.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ojad/phrasing/index)
placing these two words together causes 見た目 to have two accents(!?):

As far as I knew, Japanese words can never have more than one accent?

**Question:** Is there something deep going on here, or is this just OJAD
getting it wrong?




  1. Your dictionary is outdated, 見た目 is heiban in modern Japanese.

  2. OJAD is also wrong, it’s parsing it as two separate words 見た+目 (the eye which saw).

It should be みためよ＼り.
