Dear colleagues,

Thanks to TSUKIDA Naomi (who responded on the list) and Nojima
Motoyasu (whose reply is listed at the very end of this message) for
assistance with the Japanese glosses and free translations. Thanks
also to Danny Long for willingness (if not, as it turns out,
inability) to consult Ogawa & Asai (1935) at his library.

Thanks also to two colleagues who replied to the same query on
Facebook's ICAL page (Alex François and Kazuhiro Imanishi). I will be
posting this summary there as well.

Sincerely,

Loren A. Billings, Ph.D.
Associate professor of linguistics
