3. The omotte-ellipsis is possible when the preceding verb expresses the
speaker's volition with Vvol as in KS(C), Exs.(g) and (h) or his 1 her
conjecture as in KS(D), Exs.(i) and (j). However, if the preceding verb
does not express either volition or conjecture by means of dare (as
in Ex.(i)), kamoshirenai (as in Ex.(j)) and ydda (as in KS(D)), the
omotte-ellipsis does not usually occur.

4. The shite-ellipsis out of Vvol to shite is possible only when the Vvol to
shite clause appears in a larger construction, as in KS(C), Exs.(g) and
(h). For example, in (6a) below, no action is described, so the shite-
ellipsis is impossible, whereas in (6a') an action is explicitly mentioned,
so the ellipsis is possible.
