Well, Orelynna has just a few; I put mine near similar ones of yours:

In Orelynna: 'tosun', which is the imperative form of 'to see'

Orelynna has 'elonna', which is kind of a spiritual joy, like Hosanna

In Orelynna: 'ivlul', which is purely an interjection with no
relationship
to any other root that I know of.

Well, if we're including particles...
Orelynna has: 'na' which always precedes the infinitive verb form in
utterances:
bino na sunayr
able.1M.pres PRT to see
'I can see'
1M = 1st person male
My other conlang, emindahken, doesn't have any interjections yet...
come to think of it, it doesn't have much of anything yet... :)
