6. (possessed form ), restricted to western Hokkaido (Horobetsu, Saru, Chitose), is more noun-like than : after a verb phrase it requires ne-support (the copula, not ki), it has a possessed-form variant, and it cannot follow an adverb phrase — properties that place it between noun, 名助詞, and 副助詞 ; . §10 Topic and Focus Marking: anak(ne), patek, and ka
7. Its use is restricted to contexts where the speaker demands realisation of a minimum requirement or embeds it in a negation; it does not appear with already-accomplished events ; . §7 Topic and Focus Marking: anak(ne), patek, and ka
8. The core point — that does not nominalize — is consistent with Nakagawa's and Fukuda's analyses ; . §9 Topic and Focus Marking: anak(ne), patek, and ka

10. Fukuda formulates its Saru semantics as 'beyond or contrary to expectation' , and Satō illustrates with examples carrying emotional weight: 'even a dog won't eat it'; 'even two or three young men came' . §5 Topic and Focus Marking: anak(ne), patek, and ka

13. Hokkaido Ainu marks delimiting and scalar focus with a class of adverbial particles (副助詞) that add interpretive nuance to a following verb phrase, noun, or adverb without changing its grammatical category ; ; . no page Cleft, Pseudocleft, and Nominalization-Based Focus

15. Closer to a grammaticalized focus-concord is the kakari-musubi (係り結び) system first identified by Chiri and described for Saru by Fukuda : a small set of emphatic particles concords with a specific sentence-final particle at the clause end. no page Cleft, Pseudocleft, and Nominalization-Based Focus
16. The closing particle is optional in Saru — "not necessarily present" — which complicates calling this a true productive focus-concord on the model of Japanese kakari-musubi. no page Cleft, Pseudocleft, and Nominalization-Based Focus

18. This positional exclusivity distinguishes SFPs from the adverbial particles (副助詞) treated in and , which are category-preserving and do not close a clause; a 副助詞 attached to a verb phrase must be re-verbalised by the light verb ki before a clause-linker may attach, while a SFP makes that attachment impossible altogether ; . §2 The Sentence-Final Particle System and Illocutionary Force
19. SFPs are less frequent in Hokkaido Ainu than in Japanese: a bare finite predicate routinely ends a sentence, and SFP absence signals nothing marked ; ; . §20 The Sentence-Final Particle System and Illocutionary Force

25. Shiranuka rok; Urakawa/Samani no) seeks the addressee's assent for a proposed joint action ; ; . §23 The Sentence-Final Particle System and Illocutionary Force
26. rejects this: the particle is attested after first-singular, second-person, and third-person predicates, not only after the fourth-person (inclusive) plural; the frequent co-occurrence with the fourth person reflects the hortative meaning 'let us …', not a morphosyntactic person restriction ; ‹contested›. §23; §23 The Sentence-Final Particle System and Illocutionary Force
27. The deliberative converts a predicate into a self-addressed musing — consideration of an action for one's own benefit, not aimed at an interlocutor ; ; . §22 The Sentence-Final Particle System and Illocutionary Force

34. Whether any of these three concord pairs constitute a productive focus-concord (like Japanese 係り結び) or merely a set of frozen collocations remains an open descriptive question ; ‹contested›. §11 The Sentence-Final Particle System and Illocutionary Force
35. The formal-register marker tapan replaces ne, an, or un after the evidential formal nouns ruwe, hawe, and siri, yielding the ございます-register frame ruwe tapan . §33 The Sentence-Final Particle System and Illocutionary Force

45. Fukuda classifies as a 副助詞 on distributional grounds: it attaches after any constituent — noun, postpositional phrase, verb, adjective, or conditional clause — and marks that constituent as the locus of uncertainty, so it may stand inside the clause rather than at the sentence boundary ; . §8 Interrogative Strategies, Question Particles, and Evidential Questions
46. When it happens to fall at the clause end Fukuda notes a category straddle toward the sentence-final class ‹contested›; Nakagawa and Satō describe it functionally rather than categorially, emphasizing its constituent-scoping behaviour ; . §31 Interrogative Strategies, Question Particles, and Evidential Questions

50. Three primary sources that might bear on this question were not read for this chapter: Fukuda's (Tamura's) 1961 description of the Saru SFP system , Kindaichi's writings on elegant-language and genre-specific grammar , and Hattori's 1957 monograph on the 'special language of the older generations' (nenchōshasō tokushugo), the primary source on age- and register-conditioned lexical repertoires. no page Gendered Speech and Pragmatic Registers
51. First, Hattori 1957 on the elders' special register — the key inventory of age- and sex-conditioned non-everyday vocabulary — is not held in the project repository and was not read; Fukuda/Tamura 1961 on Saru SFPs and Kindaichi on elegant language are held but were not read for this chapter. no page Gendered Speech and Pragmatic Registers
