The objections to this {su'a} idea is that it's trying to express a logical distinction by searching through the dictionary to find words with vaguely relevant glosses (such as "particular"), finding some discourse markers glossed in that way, and arbitrarily inventing new uses for those discourse markers in the hope that they will magically express the desired meaning. It's the {da'i} bollocks all over again.
