1.

Satō also documents the poetic use of kane 'as if, to the extent that' as a simile device in the Abuta (虻田/Iburi) yukar of narrator 遠島タンケ — urar ruyka a=turi kane 'stretching the mist as if it were a bridge' (l. 136) — where kane shades from its circumstantial into a comparative-poetic value . §2.2 The Elevated/Poetic Register: Archaic Morphology and Formulaic Diction

7. The prospective auxiliary anki also appears in the Abuta yukar to mark an imminent action — paye-an anki 'I am about to go' (l. 113) — representing the hero's stated intention within direct speech, which is the immediate context for all narrative action in these verse genres . §2.2.1 Narrative TAM and Evidential Patterning by Genre
8. In the Abuta yukar, kane introduces similes of the type urar ruyka a-turi kane 'stretching the mist as if a bridge' (l. 136) and kamuy takaramono esik kane 'as if filled with divine treasure' (l. 182) — a comparative use that Satō treats as a yukar-specific extension of the circumstantial particle ‹corpus-suggested›. §2.2.1 Narrative TAM and Evidential Patterning by Genre
9. The Abuta (虻田, Iburi) yukar narrated by Tōshima Tanke shows the same set: rek kor okay 'is crying' (durative; l.46), paye=an anki 'I am about to go' (prospective; l.113) . §2.2.1 Glossed Verse: A Yukar Heroic Epic and a Kamuy Yukar God-Song
