    Usage notes

    The segmentation of Japanese verbs into a 語幹(ごかん) (gokan, “stem”) and 語尾(ごび) (gobi, “ending”) is different in traditional Japanese grammar and modern linguistic analysis.

    • Group I (godan, consonant-stem) verbs have the ending /Cu/ in traditional Japanese grammar, and /u/ in the modern linguistic analysis. Hence 飲む (nomu) is の・む (no-mu) in the former and nom-u in the latter.
    • Group II (ichidan, vowel-stem) verbs have the ending /Ciru/ or /Ceru/ in traditional Japanese grammar, and /ru/ in the modern linguistic analysis. Hence 食べる (taberu) is た・べる (ta-beru) in the former and tabe-ru in the latter. Two-mora verbs such as 見る (miru) cannot be segmented in traditional Japanese grammar.
