What is the resulting pitch accent when one appends ～ざる to 平板 (する, 言う, 寝る) and
起伏 (来る, 持つ, 食べる) verbs?

Intuitively, I would have assumed that the resulting word falls in the same
class (平板／起伏) as the simplex, but not only do I come across both pitches for
e.g. 行かざる on
[Youglish](https://youglish.com/pronounce/%22%E8%A1%8C%E3%81%8B%E3%81%96%E3%82%8B%22/japanese),
I was also corrected by a native speaker when I said 振らざる{LHHH} instead of
振らざる{LHHL}.

Pitch accent of ～ざる
-ざる always turns the word into nakatakagata. [○ざる]{LHL}, [○○ざる]{LHHL}, [○○○ざる]{LHHHL}, etc. This even applies to atamadaka verbs such as [持つ]{HL} (→[もたざる]{LHHL}) and [見る]{HL} (→[みざる]{LHL}).

Some suffixes force a certain accent type. For another example, -型 always
heibanifies the original word.
