2. Three primary sources that might bear on this question were not read for this chapter: Fukuda's (Tamura's) 1961 description of the Saru SFP system , Kindaichi's writings on elegant-language and genre-specific grammar , and Hattori's 1957 monograph on the 'special language of the older generations' (nenchōshasō tokushugo), the primary source on age- and register-conditioned lexical repertoires. no page Gendered Speech and Pragmatic Registers
3. Kindaichi's genre-density ranking — the density of elegant-language features increases from greetings through prayer and incantation to negotiation () and peaks in heroic verse (via ) — overlaps with the narrator-sex allocation above: prayer and heroic verse, the male-allocated genres, occupy the high-density end of the scale. no page Gendered Speech and Pragmatic Registers

'ordinary speech'; 口語/日常語, the everyday register) ; . no page The Elevated/Poetic Register: Archaic Morphology and Formulaic Diction
9. Kindaichi established that elegant-language density varies across chant and verse genres in a consistent gradient, rising from greeting speech through prayer (kamuy nomi itak) and incantation to dispute negotiation (caranke), with the heroic epic (yukar) carrying the highest concentration of atomte-itak features ; . no page The Elevated/Poetic Register: Archaic Morphology and Formulaic Diction
