* The particle ''sukkādi'' has often been classified as an interjection that conveys the speaker's determination to carry out an act, but is always accompanied by a verb marked with either the ''-kilwāš-'' or ''-rawāš-'' Mirative affixes.  Since ''-rawāš-'' is itself a Mirative that indicates the speaker's determination,  ''sukkādi'' would seem to be an intensifier.  However, this interpretation is problematic as the Mirative affix is obligatory; the absence of the Mirative makes the statement ungrammatical.  Native speakers who are fluent in foreign languages have difficulty explaining the meaning or role of the particle or come up with contradictory answers.  It is interesting that the particle is observed among speakers of high status, so there appears to be sociolinguistic factors involved in its usage, but the exact nature has yet to be determined.
