Hello all,<br>
<br>
I am writing a grammatical description of a language called Heyo, a Torricelli language spoken in northwestern Papua New Guinea, for my dissertation. I have come across a clitic =o that I am not sure what to call. I am currently calling/glossing it as a vocative,
 as it can serve a vocative function as in the two following examples.<br>
<br>
boi=o!<br>
boy=VOC<br>
'hey, boy!'<br>
<br>
Tawaks=o!<br>
tawaks=VOC<br>
'hey, Tawaks!'<br>
