This paper explores the possibility of substitution of ‘-damyeon, -nyamyeon, -jamyeon; -noramyeon, -eulrachimyeon, -euljaksimyeon’, which is used as a connective ending in the level of proposition among the fused endings of ‘-Xmyeon’ class. And on the basis of the results, this paper systematizes these fused endings and sets up each functional meaning. Firstly, -damyeon' can be replaced with '-myeon', but it can not be substituted for others. Also, ‘-jamyeon’ can be replaced with ‘-noramyeon, -eullachimyeon, -euljaksimyeon’, but not ‘-damyeon or -nyamyeon’. As well, ‘-noramyeon’ can be replaced with ‘-damyeon,’ when the preceding clause has a logical and meaningful relationship of [+assumption] to the following clause, and [-assumption], it can be replaced with ‘-jamyeon, -eullachimyeon, and –euljaksimyeon’. The common functional meaning of these fused endings is [+condition][+time order], and the distinguished functional meaning is [+assumption] for '-damyeon', and [-assumption] for '-eullachimyeon, -euljaksimyeon'. And, ‘-noramyeon’ and ‘-jamyeon’ have a functional meaning of [+progress], but ‘-jamyeon’ also has a functional meaning of [-assumption]. And the functional meaning of '-nyamyeon' is shown as 'question-answer'.
