"declines weakly conjugated names" Should that be "weakly declined names" ? At least as I was taught in Latin, conjugation is for verbs, and declension is for nouns and adjectives, so "conjugated names" sounds like verbal names, which sounds odd (& confusing) to me. Toma

Who's asking? (I am aware of this confusion, though, and I try to separate the terms. I use 'conjugate' quite generally, and 'decline' only for words that have cases. In Swedish it is sufficient to say 'böja' for aöll types of conjugations and declinations) /Hunef

BTW, I did just see that some Japanese_adjectives are, apparently, actually conjugated! Toma That page says there are two types of Japanese adjectives, ones which are conjugated and ones which are declined; that quite surprised me.

Geoff: About conjugation/declension, take a look at this page on inflection for the standard definition. About the Japanese, well...
