ABSTRACT

Typical sentence-final endings are speech level endings, such as the deferential, polite, intimate, and plain endings. However, sentence-final endings also include various sentence-final suffixes, such as 㰖, ῆ, and ⍺. These suffixes, combined with 㣪 “the politeness marker” can serve as sentencefinal endings that convey the speaker’s various psychological states or attitudes. This unit introduces three sentence-final endings, ~㰖㣪, ~ῆ㣪, and ~⍺㣪.
