*The connective form Vte with the preceding W(s) often functions as an adverbial to
represent manner or reason. In this case, Vte does not mark a clause break. In (i), for
example, - o mochiite is better interpreted as 'by using. . .' than as 'use. . . and,' as
the English equivalent shows. Compare this Vte with the Vte in (38).
