Dear Carl,
I've often talked about the "admirative" prefix in Caddo, which is
interesting because it belongs to the irrealis set. Maybe the only place
I put it in print is in Bybee and Fleischman, Modality in Grammar and
Discourse (Benjamins 1995), pp. 357-58.
See also Victor Friedman's chapter on "Evidentiality in the Balkans:
Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Albanian" in Chafe and Nichols, Evidentiality
(Ablex 1986), especially the discussion of the Albanian admirative on pp.
180-82.
