I've generally used a word that means something like "grace" or "kindness"; words like that that stand alone, outside the boundaries of a larger clause, serve as my interjections. They are, of course, highly idiomatic. In Lume I'm using a politeness marker, which can be used anywhere within a clause, and when used outside a clause, serves this meaning. ---larry
