===Demonstrative Adverbial Particles=== | ===Demonstrative Adverbial Particles=== | ||
The demonstrative adverbial particles can be divided into two types: one type is bound to its head by the Connective ''wa='', and the other, an Interjective form, apparently from a different root, that is usually best translated as "Here ''x'' is/are!", "There ''x'' is/are!" The demonstratives that are bound by the ''wa='' Connective always require a clause to bind to. In contrast, the Interjective forms must immediately precede standalone NPs, thus they are not bound by the ''wa='' Connective and cannot be followed by or embedded within a clause. | The demonstrative adverbial particles can be divided into two types: one type is bound to its head by the Connective ''wa='', and the other, an Interjective form, apparently from a different root, that is usually best translated as "Here ''x'' is/are!", "There ''x'' is/are!"
