PART: particle
Definition
Particles are uninflected words, and they are not further analyzed into morphemes. Many Yupik particles are borrowed from Chukchi, a geographically neighboring language, and are mostly adverbial or connective in meaning (de Reuse, 1994, p. 14).
Examples
- ighivgaq “yesterday”
- qayughllak “because”
- unaami “tomorrow”
