Creation and Usage Notes
Leigh used both eya and na as kind of combination pronouns and verbs, and that didn't really work with the way the rest of the language was coming together. I regularized things a bit and explained the usages in the books as being extra functions associated with more basic elements.

Pronunciation
- Rhymes: -ə
Particle
na
- (auxiliary) will, going to (future tense)
Etymology 2
Pronunciation
- Rhymes: -ə
Particle
na
- (auxiliary) can, be able to
Creation and Usage Notes
The idea here is the reduced form of "can" kind of merged with what was left of the future auxiliary. The future auxiliary form is obvious enough, and there was kind of an epenthetic schwa with the "can" form—and the forms were similar enough that they simply merged. It's actually worked out quite well!

Etymology 3
Pronunciation
- Rhymes: -ə
Particle
na
- (connective particle) to, in order to
Creation and Usage Notes
Now the connective particle comes from the same thing the "na" part of "gonna" comes from, except it extends to other situations, e.g. "I'm writing to tell you" becomes "I'm writing 'a tell you". It's common enough in speech, but with everything else, it simply merged into one polyfunctional particle.
