comment What is the difference between むかしっから and むかしから?
Yeah, I thought that was the most likely answer, but I could only hear むっかしから for emphasis...which sounds like what my host mom would say, so maybe it's regional? Or I'm making things up?

comment Why is 空【くう】, and not 無【む】, used to define “void”, “emptiness” in a buddhist context? What are their nuances?
That sounds really interesting, but perhaps you could explain it a little more?

@Dono: Oh, I always knew it as the masu-stem ^.^ I'll try to remember that

comment What is “masu-stem + ざま”?
@Axioplase: I see your point, but the thing is I wasn't really looking for a translation of the sentence, just for help on how this verb was used. I find when I give example sentences, the bigger question gets lost in the specifics of the examples. To me it doesn't matter the actions that are happening to understand the grammatical forms. In your example, yes "I known" would be unclear, but "had I known" would have sufficed. (Of course, the trick here is knowing how much of the sentence is grammatically relevant.)

Thanks for the answer :) I didn't want to cloud the question by adding extraneous information, but your translation makes sense :)
