          разве razve — mirative/dubitative question particle (@cite{simik-2024} §4.2.4). Indicates conflict between speaker's prior epistemic state and current contextual evidence. Compatible with both outer and inner negation.

            li and razve form a neutral/evidential contrast (like Mandarin ma/nandao).
