This study is on the functional meaning and the combining restriction of ‘-neun’ under the assumption that ‘-neu-+-eun’ is fused into ‘-neun’. The functional meaning of ‘-neun’ conveys the meaning and logical oder of the events of the adnominal clause and the main clause in utterance time. ‘-neun’ is combined when the utterance time precedes or is concurrent with the event of the adnominal clause or when the events of the adnominal clause and the main clause are concurrent. The study reveals that the combining restrictions of ‘-neun’ and pre-final ending come from the persistence of the combining restriction of ‘-neu-’ and with the new functional meaning of ‘-neun’. It isn't combined with ‘-deo-’ due to the persistence. It is caused by the new functional meaning that it isn't combined with ‘-eot-, -get-.’ It can be explained by the persistence or the new functional meaning that it isn't combined with an adjective or ‘-ida.’
