In practice, the class of indeclinable particles (IPC) are those that stand alone as words separate from others within a sentence and not attached in any way to nouns or verbs.
The function of such particles can be extremely varied, and includes the following:
(1) place/locative: wayawītimihk “outside”
(2) time/temporal: otākosīhk “yesterday”
(3) manner: nasihkāc “slowly, carefully”
(4) reason: ayisk “because”
(5) numerals: pēyak “one”
(6) quantifiers: mihcēt “many”
(7) negation: namōya “no, not”
(8) coordinators: mīna “and”
etc.
