This is awesome Yudan, thanks!!! i never thought i'd study classical, but i'm definately going to follow this thread with interest!!!
i have a couple of questions, sorry if they're dumb...
*About あらみ： By -ku adjective, do you mean i-adj, or should i look it up? If so, is it normal then for i-adjectives not to have the extra い on the end in classical Japanese, or is it only some of them?
Also, some i-adjectives still conjugate with a み, like 重み. So, was that not around at that time, or was み ambiguous back then?
*The か and て in わかころもては (second line in the text) you say are が and で. Didn't they use the little marks back then then? How did people know how to read it then, or would they have read it か and て too?
