The Ancestral Particle

Introduction

Every Ancestral verb, adverb, noun, and adnoun was normally introduced (or marked) by one or more particles. These particles (which might also be referred to as function words or relationals) created the framework of an Ancestral sentence and performed the work of English conjunctions, expletives, interjections, prepositions, pronouns, suffixes, etc. To date, I have tentatively identified the following Ancestral particles:
