			Especially in patient trigger, pronouns are often marked ergative or accusative even if they are in the right spot for the direct case. This is seen as double-marking the trigger, much like double negation, as the trigger is very important for the meaning of the sentence.

			====Final particles====
			Final particles follow the complete sentence and may change the meaning or tone of the
			sentence, though some may be placed sentence-initially (before the complete sentence) or as
			interjections instead, and may have a different meaning if so.
			* {{rkdg\|}} ''kel'' - the interrogative particle. It turns the preceding sentence into a yes-or-no
			question.
			* {{rkdg\| }} ''re/ré'' - used to show and ask for confirmation or agreement respectively, though often pronounced identically as if they were both ré. Usually ré can be translated into English as the tag question "right?," while re can be translated into English as the tag question "eh?." If used sentence-initially or in its own sentence, ré
			usually is a sarcastic interjection like English "right", while re usually is an informal
			attention-grabbing interjection like English "hey". In Rokadong orthography, especially
			in dialogue, the "e" diacritic is often duplicated for the sentence-initial versions, as {{rkdg\|}} for example.
			* {{rkdg\|}} ''au'' - expresses excitement or emphasis.
			* {{rkdg\|}} ''ru'' - assertive, expressing confidence in the preceding statement, especially if the listener is believed to not know it. In such contexts this particle may be translated as the English tag question "you know?" Often spoken with uvular /ʀ/ instead of alveolar /r/. Ru, by itself or with au preceding it, may be used instead of vai to answer the question
			"Are you sure?" affirmatively.
			* {{rkdg\|}} ''kir'' - dubitative, expressing a lack of confidence in the preceding statement. May also be used as an interjection to express shock, much like the English interjections "no" or "wow." Often spoken with glottal /ʢ̠/ instead of alveolar /r/, and the vowel may be softened or completely elided.
			* {{rkdg\|}} ''sén'' - sympathetic, expressing sorrow or sympathy.
