This is often confusing. Now I understand that
this comes from using "modal" and "modal disjunct", "deictic modal disjunct" and
"deictic epistemic/deontic modal disjunct" synonymously (in fact, they are
synonyms, aren't they?).

All
tense-aspect and modal roots are deictic disjuncts by default.
Thus, "tay"
is a modal deictic disjunct.
