The apparent attachment to various words in a sentence is mainly of rhetorical importance and very occasionally semantic, it does not impute the emotion to any one or any thing other than the speaker (emotionals *express* emotions, not *describe* them).

If not at the beginning of the sentence, from a syntactic point of
view, the emotion is "attached" to the preceding sumti.

An example that was rised in IRC is:

1. {.

From a semantic point of view, this means that the the feeling "refers
to" that sumti.

Who's feeling the emotion is usually the speaker but the cmavo {dai}
(empathy) can be used to indicaate that it's a "general feeling" and
the experimental cmavo {da'oi} allows you to specifiy who's feeling
it.

... Or at least this is my understanding ...
