Quite clearly, as another has pointed out to me off-list, it is I (me,
myself, and I that have goofed, no other: PECCAVI: mea culpa, mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa, etc.): make that:
)A/RA (smooth-alpha acute-rho-alpha) is the inferential particle;
)A=RA (smooth-alpha circumflexed-alpha) is the inerrogative particle.
And all that I intended to do was clarify the transcription scheme!
