Vvol tomo, {kar6 / ku] tomo, Adj(na)stem de ar6 tom0 can be replaced by
         te  mo  or  tatte  without  changing the  meaning. However, tom0  definitely
         belongs to written Japanese, and te mo belongs to either spoken or written
         Japanese, and tatte belongs to spoken Japanese. However, the fixed phrases
         such as osoku  tomo  'at  the latest'  and  sukunaku tom0  'at  least'  are the
         exceptions.















         Adj(i1na)te  mo  can  be  replaced  by  Adj(i)stem  {ku / kar6)  tomol
         Adj(na)stem de ar6 tomo, but Vte mo cannot be replaced by  Vvol tomo,
         especially when the verb expresses something controllable. Note that in [2]
         and [3] below,  [2a] and [3a] express something controllable, but  [2b] and
         [3b] express causative passive situations that are beyond human control.
