So, I have this sentence:
"つまりパスポートもビザもない、と"
The first part is pointing out that someone doesn't have a passport or visa (since they threw their bag at someone earlier). But what is that 「と」 doing there by itself?
I went back and reviewed my explanations of 「と」 as a particle, and my best guess is that it's meant to be quotative, referring to what the other person said about throwing their bag. This seems reasonable in conjunction with the 「つまり」, which I usually see defined/translated as "in other words," but I really don't know. I have a bad habit of fudging things in favor of sense-making. >.>
Can anyone tell me if my assessment is at all right, and what semantic purpose is served by keeping just the 「と」 instead of making a full statement?
