15 sentences

Omission of the main verb or copula predicate when it can be recovered from context or convention — 名前は? ('what's your name?'), 綴りは? ('how do you spell it?'), X は? ('what about X?'). Common in questions, responses, proverbs, headlines, and snappy conversational exchanges; the remaining particles and nouns carry the meaning.
