Abstract

The difference in essential meaning is included in “tohu” “ihu” “yobahu” even if I say courtship (I make advances), a proposal of marriage (offer of the marriage) unconditionally. It is based on implication to become the base before the change in quality of the word most. So, in this paper, we tried to explore whether it is the same is not the result of incidental and simplify the transformation of words, or derived, meaning that it holds the vocabulary original. Let’s be as follows when we sort a series of processes of love or the marriage according to a component. It expressed the love that had been hidden mind, and that to speak out “ihu” is the point that emits also is important, it is often used during the ever Iyori song and letter it is “ihu”. It is possible to break the ice from either male or female. “tohu” is courtship in a decisive stage to obtain “an answer” with power or courtesy than this. Therefore, has the direction of the one to the woman from the man, if what looks like up and down relationship is prerequisite in many cases. That’s why, to use when expressing passive position as the most women. A custom (娉財) to give the cause of the partner considerable property may be accompanied by to let you accept me because an invitation is the strong expression of a will preaching. On the other hand, it may be said that “yobahu” is performed at all time of (1)(2)(3)(4) for the timing. Furthermore, having gregariousness and both men and women characteristics, I have the honor that you should say with the group marriage. Became the terminology involved in the process up to the sleeping together and go out to a place that there is a partner young people of the village. It was fundamental meaning of “yobahu” “it was on friendly terms”, and I went out over and over again, and to hang around “setsuni” at a partner before showing the falling as a meaning to steal into a bedroom. And man and woman agreed each other and came to sleeping together and named that a man visited it “yobahu” mainly. Such “yobahu” has a characteristic to move from the group to an individual.
