          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).
