Reportative clauses are marked with ''-tj'' unless the source person is the speaker or listener, closely related to the speaker, divine (especially a god or god-king), or well-known by the speaker, where particles bearing the verb's tone are used.


Speaker and listener sources use ''tjaq'' and ''tjer'' respectively.
Speaker and listener sources use ''tjaq'' and ''tjer'' respectively. Closely related source particles mark generation relative to the speaker: ''tjim'' for sources one or more generations younger, ''tjaa'' for sources of the same generation, ''pjugi'' for sources one generation older, and ''tjew'' for sources two or more generations older; divine sources also use ''tjew''. Well-known, non-closely/directly related sources use ''pjuiu''. In some regions ''pjuiu'' can also be used for sources well-known to the listener.
