1. Naranai is used to express insurmountable psychological or physical
feeling. The form is connected with Adj(i / na) of psychological or
physical feeling as shown in KS(A), (B), and Exs.(a) - (g), or with V of
psychologic$ feeling as in Exs.(h) and (i). If Adj(i / na) is neither a psy-
chological nor physical feeling, naranai cannot be used.

When V is connected with naranai it is usually an idiomatic verb phrase
of psychological feeling, and not of physiological feeling. Thus, for
example, (4) is unacceptable, unless naranai is replaced by tamaranai.
