1. Affirmative forms such as Vmasu wa sum, Adj(i)stem ku wa am, and
{Adj(na)stem l N) de wa am often appear with the conjunction ga in
contrastive sentences. (e wal (DBJG: 516-19))
2. Adj(na)stem de wa nai and N de wa nai are, in fact, the ordinary nega-
tive forms of Adj(na) and N + Copula and do not express any special
emphasis.
3. When auxiliaries occur with Vte, wa follows Vte, as in Formation (ii).
