Kara cannot be used in place of kara to itte. Compare [I] and KS(A).

[I] +Rl?;tr.r;zW;h~f b:~ib~;tr.hb1,
(I can't forgive him just because he is a child.)
The difference is that the scope of wake ni wa ikanai in [l] is yurusu '(I)
forgive him' while that of wake ni wa ikanai in KS(A) is kodomo da kara
yurusu '(I) forgive him because he is a child.'
Te mo and tatte are similar to kara to itte. However, unlike sentences
with kara to itte, sentences with te rno or tatte do not convey the speak-
er's disapproval of using S1 as a justification for Sz. (See Note 1.) Com-
pare [2a] with KS(C), and [2b] with Ex.(a).
