Minhast has a wealth of particles used to manipulate discourse, convey attitudes and expectations, express dissent, reconnect prior speech with the present discourse topic, among many other functions. Some of these particles are treated as clause-level dependents and as such are bound to their clause by a ''wa='' construction. The rules as to whether a preposed ''wa='' versus a postposed ''wa='' should be used with these particles is not fully understood. Some particles appear as stand-alone adjuncts, rarely if ever being bound by a ''wa='' construction. | Minhast has a wealth of particles used to manipulate discourse, convey attitudes and expectations, express dissent, reconnect prior speech with the present discourse topic, among many other functions.
