“As an isolating language Belter Creole is rich in particles. Particles are used to indicate both negation and interrogation: na is the negative particle and it is placed before the verb”
“But it pleased her to play on my passion / And whet me to pleadings / That won from her mirthful negations / And scornings undue.”
