My Publications |
| Gradually "reviewing" them, briefly |
| Articles |
| Many of my papers contain (at least) one major booboo. |
| "Some comments on the study of ancient kana spelling," Phi Theta Papers, Vol ?, 1961, pp. ? |
| Among other things, I suggested reasons for a so-far unfavored reconstruction of Old Japanese, but when I presented my version
of a reconstruction, somehow I forgot that there is no ??? |
| "The derivation of certain Japanese nouns," Phi Theta Papers, Vol 8, Fall 1963, pp. 51-58 |
| I attempt to present evidence by weight of 40 examples that many Japanese nouns derived from verbs by the attachment of a suffix
"-a" to the verb root. One of my examples was "kura" = "store house," which I supposed derived from "kur-" = "to dig" and had a
semantic history similar to that of Eng. "go-down," imagining the latter to be some kind of basement type storage place and that
the Japanese version dated back to the pit dwellings. I never thought to check "go-down" in a dictionary and find out that there
was no implication of digging in this word borrowed from ?Malaysian? ?"gudang"?. |
