1. The particle ni yotte indicates the means for doing s.t. (e.g. KS(A), (G),
Exs.(a) - (c) and (o)), dependency on a situation / s.t. / S.O. (e.g. KS(B),
(E), (F), Exs.(d) - (f) and (k) - (n)), cause for s.t. (e.g. KS(C), Exs.(g)
and (h)), and an agent of a passive sentence (e.g. KS(D), Exs.(i) and
(3).

2. When ni yotte means dependency on a situation, the preceding element
can be an embedded Yes-No question (e.g. KS(E), Exs.0 and (1)) or a
WH-question (as in KS(F), Exs.(m) and (n)).
3. When ni yotte means a means for doing s.t., it can be preceded by a
clause norninalized by koto as in KS(G) and Ex.(o).
4. - ni yotte can be unconditionally replaced by - ni yori when it means
dependency on a situation / s.t. / LO., as in KS(B), (E), 0, Exs.(d) - (f)
and Q - (n). The difference between the two is that - ni yori is used in
written Japanese.
