Aanaar Saami Clitics Pt 1:

-uv/-uks: can be used as a question particle when attached to the first word in a sentence. In other cases it is used as an addition particle when attached to nouns and when attached to a verb that the action was unexpected. -Uks is often used instead of -uv when asking a question where the noun or pronoun is the first word in the sentence.

Examples:
Mun-uv luuhim kirje: I too read a book.
Mun-uks luuhim kirje?: Did I read a book?
Mun luuhim-uv kirje: I surprisingly read a book.
Luuhim-uv mun kirje? Did I read a book?
Mun luuhim kirje-uv: I read a book as well (as something else)

-gin/kin: have the same use as uv/uks in negative sentences, except they do not funtion as question particles.

Examples:
Mungin jiem luuhâm kirje: I also didn't read a book.
Mun jiem luuhâmgin kirje: I surprisingly didn't read a book.
Mun jiem luuhâm kirjegin: I didn't read a book as well.
