aux:q
: question particle
This is a subtype of aux, used for question particle -mI (mı/mi/mu/mü).
The question particle, when attached to a predicate, typically carries some of the tense/aspect/modality suffixes as well as person/number agreement suffixes.
Although it does not function as an auxiliary when attached to non-predicate words or phrases,
we use aux:q
for all uses of the question particle.
Annotation of question particles are not well-specified in UD, and currently under discussion.
