Exclamations

There's an interesting sentence. <Because of something> <exclamation>.
Since TKD says that exclamations stand as sentences in their own right,
you've got to wonder if you can do this.
By the way, remember how we were wondering about the phrase /qay'be'/ "no
problem," about what its subject is? The phrase is listed in TKD, p. 46, as
an exclamation. This suggests that it's not just any old sentence, but a
recognized phrase that doesn't necessarily act like a sentence.
