Karl, your last post didn't really tackle the issues. The pattern you spot for the use of the paragogic nun is morphological, not syntactical or semantic. But you seem to be attaching a syntactical or semantic significance to it. It's possible, yes. But it's not a necessary conclusion. You haven't demonstrated the necessity of your conclusion, which makes it speculative. Furthermore, you need to deal more specifically with the morphology, as well as a diachronic analysis of the language.
