this is a line from poem #44 of the ogura hyakunin isshu.
逢ふことの
絶えてしなくは
the part i am having trouble with is deciphering 絶えてしなくは.
what i have so far is:
絶える - to stop, to cease
て - 連用形 of つ
し - 連体形 of き
く - a nominalizer, like koto in modern japanese
i am having trouble figuring out what the な is. i originally thought that it was the 未然形 of ぬ, but that wouldn't work since ぬ attaches to the 連用形 but し is the 連体形.
can someone help me figure this out?
