This paper investigated the process of changing the conjunction Saraba which expressed resultative and hypothetical situation into a word of farewell used when parting. For the investigation we used two points of view, "demonstrative feature being obscure" and "having function of scene development". These are led by characteristic that the word of farewell Saraba has. By the way, Saraba had a stage of the conjunction which didn’t express resultative and hypothetical situation before it changed to the word of farewell. Saraba at the stage had "demonstrative feature which was obscure" and "the function of scene development". At first, we classified Saraba in "demonstrative feature being clear" or "demonstrative feature being obscure", and investigated the history. As a result of the investigation, there were few examples of "demonstrative feature being obscure" in the Early Middle Period, they gradually increased after the first half of the Middle Period, and a large number of the examples were seen at the end of the Middle Period. Then, we investigated how examples which will, demand expression followed Saraba changed historically and how examples which Saraba followed interjections such as Iza, Ide changed historically. As a result of the investigation, proportion of the examples which will, demand expression followed Saraba more increased in the first half of the Middle Period, and proportion of the examples which Saraba followed interjections such as Iza, Ide increased in the latter half in the Middle Period. From the above, we think "the function of scene development" expanded from the first half of the Middle Period to the latter half of the Middle Period. Furthermore, Saraba often appeared at the head of utterance. It was also on the syntactic condition that "the function of scene development" expanded. "The function of scene development" wasn’t newly acquired after examples of "demonstrative feature being obscure" began to appear but originally provided Saraba with, and it came to the front in conjunction with "demonstrative feature obscuring". Saraba lexicalized to the 17th century. Considering that, it is probable that "demonstrative feature obscuring" and "the function expansion of scene development" became most prominent at the end of the Middle Period, because of temporal consistency.
