It is found that Kakataibo makes a distinction in the modal space based on the modality type. Circumstantial modality is encoded by a construction while the epistemic space is conveyed by the second position enclitics =dapi 'inferential', =id 'second-hand information' and =kuni 'contrastive assertion'. However, none of these strategies to encode modality restricts the quantificational force, leaving it underspecified. These facts are consistent with the predictions of current typologies of modal systems.}, language = {en} }
