(Related Expressions]
I. Noni is similar to kuse ni. In fact, noni can replace kuse ni in KS(A), (B)
and Exs.(a) - (f). Noni, however, does not express the speaker's emotion
as strongly as kuse ni. Thus, noni is not suitable in contexts as Ex.(g),
(3), and (4), where the speaker swears at the hearer. In addition, the
restrictions in Notes 1 and 2 do not apply to noni.
(+noni1 (DBJG: 331-35))

11. Ni rno kakawarazu expresses an idea similar to noni and kuse ni. How-
ever, ni rno kakawarazu is a highly formal and bookish expression and it
expresses no emotion. Therefore, it cannot be used in highly emotive
situations as in Ex.(g), (3), and (4). Note that the formation rules are
different from those of kuse ni, as in [I].
