Editor: final particle give rise to all kinds of intonation, maybe that's why dicts like to list them as 5th tone.

耶 is used a lot in Tw, maybe not so much in PRC. However, when I read 耶 in subtitles, I hear all kind of sounds, it's more a conventional way to note a final sound.
I don't think it's wise to try to define too precisely what final particle convey. That's highly variable.
Diff:
# - 耶 耶 [ye2] /interrogative particle (classical)/
# + 耶 耶 [ye2] /interrogative particle (classical)/
+ 耶 耶 [ye5] /final particle indicating enthusiasm etc/
