But the book I'm refering did not, as far as I can recall.

Participles with auxiliary verbs? I'm not sure what you mean.
I do not know why the book listed participles as a separate part of speech,
but it did, and apparently included all participles.

There's a couple more, like _igenom_ with periods of time, eg _medeltiden
igenom_.

That's one I forgot. The book definitely listed numerals ("räkneord") as a
separate part of speech.

The lack of pronouns in my list above was a mere tpyo.
