完了・強意・並列の補助動詞 (Auxiliary for showing completion, string will and enumeration)

活用(未然形・連用形・終止形・連体形・已然形・命令形):
[ね|に|ぬ|ぬる|ぬれ|ね]

The completion meaning is, today, equivalent to ~た・~してしまった; the “strong will”meaning is close to きっと and ~してしまう; and when used for enumerating it could be seen as ~たり~たりする.

Meaning of ぬ added to 連用形 / masu-stem, as in 風立ちぬ

What does the ぬ at the end of 立ち specify? I can't find a verb that is just 立ちぬ, is this some kind of special form? Can this be done with other verbs as well? 風立ちぬ, for reference, is Miyazaki's new film's name.
