<div>that is, "iru" is handled as an independent subsidiary
verb, and the preceding "-te" as connective.</div>

In the 1998 manual, it is classified under Copula and Auxiliaries, but

<div>This is separated, too. It is analyzed as a sentence nominalizer
"no" with a following copula;.</div>

<div>it should be "ee" instead of "ei". Adjectival
noun plus a copula.</div>

see it as analog to "sensee ni naru < sensee da")</div>

<div>not necessarily; it can also connect sentences like "gohan
