The aim of the present thesis is two-pronged as the author not only wishes to provide a comprehensive overview of the set of inflectional forms that make up the paradigm of the honorific suffix -haru but also dig deeper into the properties of the suffix and elucidate the causes of the ungrammaticality of some of the tested hypothetical forms.
