My friend wanted to know if there is an attitudinal for showing sarcasm.

Is there one?

Depends on what you mean by sarcasm. There is "mockery" (the verb {ckasu} ) and verbal irony.

Given that the proposed interjection modifier {xo'o} parallels {zo'o} there is a strong indication that it means "veranl irony, not mockery. That's why one unofficial dictionary states that it's verbal irony.


Thanks :)
