All examples are quoted precisely as they appear in the editions listed below. The exact location is indicated in the following manner: «Title: chapter or book (: poem) #(volume and) page in the edition used» (page number is missing if the examples are quoted after a CD-ROM edition). The morphological analysis employed follows the model laid out in the present author’s “Japanese verbal classes …” (Majtczak 2008, 31–36, 112–113). It must be borne in mind that the sounds put in angle brackets 〈 〉 underwent reduction due to morphophonological processes (they are not to be read!). In the Old Japanese examples small capitals point to the portions written semantically (by means of logograms), and not phonetically.
