Index to Grammatical Elements
There follows a list of those elements which Collado describes in his grammar. To a certain degree I have regularized his morphophonological analysis. For example, the preterit permissive form, described by Collado as redomo after a preterit verb, is cross-listed as -ta redomo in order to bring together morphologically similar forms. All forms occurring in the text with the honorific gozaru, etc. are indexed as aru, etc. For example, the element found in aguenande gozaru 'I have not offered' will be indexed under -nande aru. As a general rule in this index items beginning with a hyphen are classified as endings, while the remaining items are particles.
The spelling used in this index is that of the original. Those readers more familiar with the modified Hepburn system of romanization, as reflected in Kenkyūsha's Dictionary, will find the following simplified chart of help. Syllables presented in Kenkyūsha as beginning with the following initial letters will have the corresponding spellings in Collado's grammar:
| e = ie o = vo | k = ca, qi, cu, qe, co s = sa, xi, su, xe, so z = za, ji, zu, je, zo t = ta, chi, tçu, te, to d = da, gi, zzu, de, do |
| h = f y = i w = v |
The citations are numbered according to their location in the translation and are limited to those places where the element is explained or used to demonstrate a grammatical point.
