Editing Classical Japanese (section)

===== Table notes =====

Note that these translations are glosses, and may not reflect certain nuances or rare alternative meanings.

In addition, the translations are for the classical meaning of the verb, which may differ from the modern meaning of the verb if it has survived into modern Japanese either slightly (e.g., {{nihongo2|着る (きる)}} ''ki-ru'', which meant "to wear [in general]" in classical Japanese, but means "to wear [from the waist up]" in modern Japanese), or significantly (e.g., {{nihongo2|居る (ゐる)}} ''wi-ru'', which meant "to sit" in classical Japanese, but primarily means "to be" (for animate objects) in modern Japanese). Some may have the same meaning, but a different pronunciation (e.g., {{nihongo2|鑑みる (かゞみる)}} ''kagami-ru'' "to learn from", which is generally pronounced and written {{nihongo2|鑑みる (かんがみる)}} ''kangami-ru'' in modern Japanese). Also, even for those verbs which have survived with the same meaning and form, many are archaic and rarely used in modern Japanese (e.g., {{nihongo2|嚏る (ひる)}} ''hi-ru'' "to sneeze", with the same modern meaning and form, but almost never used). On the other hand, some have kept the same meaning, form, and prominence into the modern language (e.g., {{nihongo2|見る (みる)}} ''mi-ru'' "to see", one of the oldest surviving verbs in the language and also one of the most common, both in classical and modern texts).

{{nihongo2|在すかり}} (''imasukar-i'' "to exist", honorific form) has three pronunciation variants, each of which can use either Chinese character: {{nihongo2|在すがり (いますがり) / 坐すがり (いますがり)}} (''imasugar-i''), {{nihongo2|在そかり / 坐そかり}} (''imasokar-i''), and {{nihongo2|在そがり / 坐そがり}} (''imasogar-i'').

Finally, the "modern" transcriptions are purely orthographic. For example, the modern version conclusive form of the classical verb {{nihongo2|來 (く)}} (''k-u'' "to come") is {{nihongo2|来る (くる)}} (''k-uru''), but the modern form is given in the table as {{nihongo2|来 (く)}} (''k-u''), which is the way that a modern Japanese writer would write the ''classical'' Japanese word, rather than the way they would write the ''modern'' Japanese word.
