List

+ れ - “This/That/Which thing”. Stands alone as a nominal.

+ こ - “… Place/Location”. Stands alone as a nominal.

+ ちら - “… Direction/Location”. Very broad meaning, can be used in place for the two series above as a more broad / polite version. Stands alone as a nominal.

+ の - “… X”. Must be attached to a nominal (X).

+ んな - “… kind of X”. Must be attached to a nominal (X). Can also take particle に to turn into the adverb “… way/manner”.

+ う - “in … way”. Used as an adverb.

+ う言う / ういう - Much less certain about this one, can’t find too many resources on it. “… kind of X”. Must be attached to a nominal (X). Same usage as んな (more casual?), but it CANNOT take に to become an adverb. Also used in specific instances of “how it is said” or “how I am called”.
