About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...Michi mo naki made. To such a degree that there was no road. Gari is an old word occasionally found in poetry. It has the same meaning as he. Examples oi gari: --Kimi gari. Hito no gari ifubeki koto arite fumi wo yaru. Hashi wo uma koshiganete, kokoro nomi imo gariyarite, %va ha kokoni shite. Towards you. Having something to say to some one, I send a letter. My horse being unable to cross the bridge, I remain here, my heart alone I send towards thee. Accusative Case. Wo, the ordinary sign of the accusative case, was probably in its origin an interjection of the same meaning with the English " O!" It has this sense in sow yahe gaki wo!" O I that eight-fold barrier!" a phrase which occurs in one of the oldest extant specimens of the Japanese language. In the monogatari we find instances of wo as an interjection in answer to a call or command, something like the English "Halloa!" or " Aye, aye, Sir!" Example: --Wo to te (for to ihi te) tachinu. "Aye, aye, Sir," said he, and started off. Intermediate between its use as an interjection and as the sign of the accusative case may be placed those instances where wo seems to be merely an emphatic particle, of much the same force as a significant emphasis or pause over the word. This is perhaps why Motowori calls it a yasumeteniwoha or "pause particle" when used in this way. Example: --Samidare no On this night, when the Tsuki no honokani moon of the 5th month is Miyuru yo ha, seen faintly, do thou, at Hototogisu dani any rate, O, hototogisu! Sayaka ni wo nake. sing distinctly. Wo has here the force of drawing attention to the antithesis between the faint shining of the moon and the distinct singing of the bird. The same wo is also found after verbs. Example: --...
