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 spatial class also has an Interjective form, usually best translated as "Here ''x'' is/are!", "There ''x'' is/are!" The forms 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 that the Interjective forms are derived from different roots. The particle ''ne'' often follows them to provide additional reinforcement. | |||
