===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. Note too that the Interjective forms are apparently derived from different roots.

The demonstrative adverbial particles can be divided into two classes, a spatial class and a temporal class. Both classes, with a few exceptions, have at least three forms, an independent form, and two forms for preposed ''wa='' and postposed ''wa='' constructions. The spatial class also has an Interjective form, 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. Note too that the Interjective forms are apparently derived from different roots.
