Although the forming conditions of the usage of “wo for circumstances”, e.g. in the sentence “Ame no naka wo hashiru” (run in the rain) were often explained with the terms of “Mobility” and “Adversity” so far , in the forming of “wo for circumstances” exist cases of usage where “Mobility” and “Adversity” cannot be detected, e.g. in the sentence “Atatakai hidamari no naka wo neko ga kimochiyosaso ni nemutte iru” (The cat is sleeping pleasantly in a warm sunny spot). What is necessary for the formation of “wo for circumstances” is not “Mobility” or “Adversity” but meaning the “Relevance Condition”. “Relevance Condition”shows that the circumstantial complement and the events in the whole sentence are in strong relativity relations. Further, I re-examined the “Path” usage in “wo for motion”, and I classified it into two types: “bound path”, e.g. in the sentence “Hashi wo wataru” (cross a bridge) and “boundless path”, e.g. in the sentence “Kouen wo aruku”(walk in the park). Thus “wo for object”, “wo for motion” and “wo for circumstances” are not continuous relations. I suggest that “bound path” is a case of usage of “wo for object”, and “boundless path” is a case of usage of “wo for circumstances”, the former being a case particle but latter an element of circumstances.
