I've attached additional PoS below, which are needed if we want to be able to handle archaic Japanese. Note that there are lots of ni-dan types that need to be added. Also, there appears to be a [v5z] PoS in EDICT (or at least it's present on the 'advanced search' page of the database). No words are currently tagged as [v5z], and as far as I know, it is not a valid PoS. So I think it can be deleted. Archaic Japanese is definitely not my specialty, so there may be some that I've missed (esp. if there are any irregular variants like 行く). But these appear to be the majority of remaining PoS according to Koj, Daij, Wiki, etc. These should be double-checked. See for example this page (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%8B%E4%BA%8C%E6%AE%B5%E6%B4%BB%E7%94%A8) and the related links in its sidebar. Most modern verb equivalents have an archaic verb equivalent; that is to say that pretty much everything that is [v5k] could also be marked as [v4k], and most [adj-na] entries could also be flagged as [adj-nari]. That seems redundant to me, so I recommend that the archaic verb forms only be used it's a strictly archaic word that never uses a modern conjugation. VERBS 四段活用 v4k v4g v4s v4t v4n v4h -- already in EDICT v4b v4m v4r -- already in EDICT 上二段活用 v2k-k v2g-k v2t-k v2d-k v2h-k v2b-k v2m-k v2y-k v2r-k 下二段活用 v2a-s -- already in EDICT v2k-s v2g-s v2s-s v2z-s v2t-s v2d-s v2n-s v2h-s v2b-s v2m-s v2y-s v2r-s v2u-s ADJECTIVES カリ活用 adj-ka, e.g. 多かり ク活用 adj-ku, e.g. 高し シク活
#x7528; adj-shiku, e.g. 嬉し ナリ活用 adj-nari -- Archaic/formal form of ~な. Some archaic adjectives are adj-nari only. But on the rare occasion that I've come across one, I've heretofore submitted it as [adj-na][arch], which is not strictly correct. Rene On 2012-04-08, at 7:24 PM, Jim Breen wrote:
