Comment:
The following vocative particle is the one which is traditional and still in use, though largely regarded as old fashioned. It is different from the preceding vocative particle in that it is used to call to people who are out of sight, as, for example, inside a house or behind a clump of trees. We might deem this a 'distal vocative'.
