Negative Voice. _kozu_, _konu_, &c. _kozhi_. _kozareba_. _koneba_. _kozare_. _kuna_. _kuruna_. _na ko so_. The other forms of _kuru_ are easily formed from those of _suru_, replacing _se_ and _su_ by _ko_ and _ku_. There are not many true adjectives. Such have a sort of positional inflexion--a predicative form in _-shi_, _akashi_, be red, a form used chiefly with verbs (but also indefinitely) in _-ku_, _akaku naru_, become red, and a form in _-ki_, used mainly with nouns, _akaki mono_, red thing. There is also a form in _-mu_, _-mi_, which has a verbal force denoting a state or condition. Adjectives may also be verbalized by the addition of _aru_, be, and many of its forms with obvious contractions. Lastly, adjectival expressions are formed by adding _naru_, be or become, to adjectival stems _yaharaka_, _yaharaka-naru_, soft, gentle. Nouns substantive (and pronouns) are absolutely devoid of gender or case, and only occasionally have a plural suffix _ra_ or _tachi_ or _nodo_ or _domo_. Pronouns are few, and--the personal pronouns especially--are little used, the subject of the verb being generally unexpressed and left to be gathered from the context. First person _a_, _wa_, _are_, _ware_, _waga_, _wago-_, _wagi-_. Second person _na_, _namuji_, _nase_, _imashi_, _imo_. Third person _a_, _are_, _kare_ (_is_, _ille_, Aston). _so_, _sore_ (_iste_, Aston). _ko_, _kore_ (_hic_, Aston). Interrogative Pronouns. _Ta_, _tare_, who? _na_, _nani_, what? _izure_, _izu_, which, what? _ika_, what manner? ποῖος. _iku_, what number? &c., πόσος. Other pronouns are _shi_, _onore_, _mi_, self, _onore_ and _mi_, often I _myself_, or I, _ono-ono_, every, _mina_, all. Other pronominal forms, chiefly indefinite, are explained in the glossary. Only the principal particles need here be noticed. Others are explained in the glossary. The following are of special importance, and are found mainly in connexion with nouns as postpositions. They are _wa_ (_ha_), _ga_, _no_, _ni_, _he_ (_e_, _ye_) and _wo_.
