 Random remarks 
:File:Boundaries of the Okinawan Languages.svg seems inaccurate. According to Karimata (2000), the western half of Onna Village is part of the Southern Okinawan-speaking region.
I think the ""phonemic"" accent notation of the Nakijin Dialect Dictionary is actually phonetic but I leave it intact. A more elegant analysis is presented by Moriyo Shimabukuro's The Accentual History of the Japanese and Ryukyuan Languages (2007) although he did not discuss compounding.
The example of kumo (spider/cloud), originally added by , is not a good example. Kumo is a homonym in Tokyo Japanese only because an irregular sound change occurred in Tokyo Japanese. ""Cloud"" belongs to the accent class 2.3 and ""spider"" to 2.5. This pair is realized differently as HL and LF in Kyoto. The expected Tokyo forms are LH and HL, but they are both pronounced HL.
