! ka

| Assertive

| This is properly an interjection and appears at the end of the sentence ''without'' a ''wa='' Connective. When used in conjunction with a verb marked with the Irrealis, ''ka'' transforms the sentence into an Imperative. This particle is rare, appearing only in Classical Minhast and some extremely conservative varieties of the Salmon Speaker dialect. The ''ka'' particle also has variants that appear as verbal affixes, e.g. ''-ka-'',''-kka'' and ''-nka''. These affixes are also rare, again appearing mostly in Classical Minhast and conservative Salmon Speaker subdialects.

! nikā'

| Assertive - Interrogative-Polarity

| Derived from the Inerrogative-Polarity ''ni'' and the Assertive ''ka'', this particle indicates a yes-no question, which concurrently indicates the urgency of a response. This particle also has a verbal clitic form ''=(n)nikā''', which must appear in the final verb of the sentence, must not be followed by a Postposed-''wa='' Construction, or any other particle. This rare particle is found only in Classical Minhast and the Salmonic dialects.

|-

! nikkēla'

| Assertive - Interrogative-Positive

| Similar to the paricle ''nikā' '', which also indicates the urgency of a response, with the expectation of a "yes"-answer. Like ''nikā'' ', this particle also has a verbal clitic form, ''=(n)nikkēla'' ', and is affixed according to the same rules that govern ''nikā' ''. This rare particle, like ''nikā''', is found only in Classical Minhast, and in the Salmonic dialects.

|-

! nikkāta'

| Assertive - Interrogative-Negative

| Like the particle ''nikkēla' '', except the expectation is for a "no" answer". It also has a verbal clitic form, ''=(n)nikkāta' '', and is affixed according to the same rules that govern both ''=(n)nikā' '' and ''=(n)nikkēla' ''. As in those two particles, this particle is also rare, found only in Classical Minhast and the Salmonic dialects.
