Curious if there are any general rules for the pitch accent for pluralized たち
nouns.

For example:

  * 子供達 - the pattern seems to be こどもたち{LHHLL}
  * 私たち - the pattern seems to be わたしたち{LHHLL}
  * 自分たち - the pattern seems to be じぶんたち{LHLLL}
  * 人間たち - the pattern seems to not drop at all にんげんたち{LHHHHH}
  * 動物たち - the pattern seems to be どうぶつたち{LHHHLL}

Other words seem to fall on たち{HL}, rather than the noun itself.

I'm not certain if there's a clear pattern. But just in case, any general
rules or tips on how pitch might work for たちed nouns?
