ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the “Mairu” that was used in the “Towaz ug atar i ” in the kamakura period. “Mairu” is originally used as an honorific language for “Kenjogo” of “Iku”. F i r s t , “ M a i r u ” i s w e l l u s e d a s a n i n t r a n s i t i v e v e r b i n “ T o wa z u g a t a r i ” m e a n i n g “Sanjosuru”(go to the palace), or “Sanpaisuru”(go to the shrine) Second, “Mairu” is also used with “Hoshisuru”(to serve) and “Sashiageru”(to give) as a transitive verb. This shows that “Mairu” can change from an intransitive verb into a transitive verb. Lastly, “Mairu” can be used to mean “Meshiagaru”(to eat), which is an honorific language(Sonkeigo) for treating the subject directly. In summary, these examples show that “Mairu” has many meanings and usages.
