Good enough. Let's approve for now.

Sorry, didn't look close enough. I think this sort of covers it, though?

The proposed glosses don't work for the sentences I found. I can't see a way of translating what is essentially just a subject marker. Here, all it's doing is mocking the way people sound.

Tried to include some of Robin's suggestions into the note. (it ends up being pretty long again, but I think it's better to be 
clear than just concise)
Could maybe still need some work.
Having an example sentence or two associated with this entry would of course be immensely helpful.

That suggested expl looks like a usage note to me, not an explanatory gloss. I think this works, though? It doesn't strike me as 
untranslatable.
