Which is it, umore<\/span> or uzumore<\/span>? There are a number of these verbs that cannot be distinguished simply by their okurigana<\/span> or the grammar of the sentence. (We will deal with other examples in another post.) Without a gloss, we are left to the context to determine which of the readings (and thus meaning) is appropriate. So what of this case?<\/p>\n

Let’s begin with umoreru <\/span>(vi.). The Nikkoku<\/span> (2nd. ed.) gives the following meanings: (1) to go under\/into, or be covered by, something like snow or soil and disappear from sight (cf. uzumoreru<\/span> and umoru<\/span>); (2) used metaphorically, to be withdrawn (cf. uzumoreru<\/span>), as in reserved, gloomy, or obscure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And uzumoreru <\/span>(vi.): (1) to be covered with something like snow or soil and disappear from sight, or to hide oneself by going deeply into something; (2) for a place to fill with things, people, etc.; (3) used metaphorically, to not be known, as in to be withdrawn, undervalued; and (4) to give oneself over to feelings such as sadness and despair.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The distinction is clarified here: the two words differ in the same way that uzumeru<\/span> and umeru<\/span> differ; that is, uzumu <\/span>(vt.)\/uzumeru <\/span>(vt.) refer to covering something by heaping soil, etc., on top of it; umu <\/span>(vt.)\/umeru <\/span>(vt.) refer to putting something into a hole, etc., and then covering that. In both cases the object disappears from sight.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nikkoku<\/span> identifies characteristic uses of various related words. For uzumu<\/span>, “to pile a lot of soil, etc., onto something and thus cover and conceal it”; for uzumeru<\/span>, “to fill a space with people or things, or to pile a lot of soil, etc., onto something and thus cover and conceal it”; for umeru<\/span>, “to mix in another substance in order to modulate temperature or strength” or, metaphorically, “to make up for a loss or an insufficiency.”<\/p>\n

So which is it, umore<\/span> or uzumore<\/span>? Since one key difference between the terms seems to be degree, and since presumably the truck is merely covered — not buried — in petals, this would likely be read umore<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
