I came across the following sentence in a book:

> 身体を起こし、手足がこれといった支障もなく動くのを確かめた。

and searched on Jisho.org for 障もなく. It sent me to
[https://jisho.org/search/障む](https://jisho.org/search/%E9%9A%9C%E3%82%80),
saying that "障もなく is the negative form" of 障む。

However, I know that for that to be correct, it would have to be まなくて, not
what is written in the book. Then I remembered that the も could be from the
volitional form; and looked through my Genki 2 textbook, but failed to find
the conjugation for negative volitional phrases, which means that 障もなく is
either not volitional, not negative, or I'm leaping down another dead-end
rabbit hole again via wrong analysis of what the text means.

question
grammar usage conjugations parsing
Can verbs simutaniously use the volitional form and negative form?
There is a negative volitional. It's ~まい and it's not super common outside
some fixed patterns like

> あろ **う** ことかある **まい** ことか
>
> 子供じゃある **まい** し

However, it doesn't apply here anyways as that's not the grammar that's
happening here. By the way, Jisho made a parsing mistake: the negative form of
障む is 障まない.

The main issue is that you seem to be parsing the sentence incorrectly. 支障 is
a noun. The もない means `without any` and なく is the continuative form of ない (it
works here like an adverb pretty much). Maybe you've seen the phrase 何もない
before? So then 支障もない means without any 支障.
