(The Japanese language pedagogy differs depending on the
instructor.)
In (la) ni yori is unacceptable, because it is used in spoken Japanese,
whereas the same comp. prt. can be used in (lb) which belongs to writ-
ten Japanese. The replacement is also possible when - ni yotte means
an instrument with which to do s.t.

However, when the instrument is a concrete, tangible object ni yori can-
not be used as in (3).

When the particle means a cause or a passive agent, - ni yori is not used.
Thus, the following sentences are all marginal.

5. In the prenominal use of N1 ni yoru Nlr the comp. prt. expresses cause
as in Ex.(p) and (q), or a means as in (5a) or a passive agent as in (5b).
