Beginning and ending quotes in the %mor tier

[Daisuke Miyamoto]

Dear all,

Two weeks ago, I sent an email asking you about the beginning and ending 
quotations. Although I have not received any reply yet, I have confirmed 
that the MOR manual has been updated and the begging and ending quotes have 
been removed from the list. Thank you very much for checking that!

Now that begging and ending quotes do not have their own morphological 
categories, the use of quotation marks in main lines does not seem to 
affect the %mor and %gra tiers at all. Is my understanding correct?

Best,
