Datapoint Kikongo-Kituba/Indefinite articles

As far as I know, Kituba and many Bantu languages do not have articles. The fact that mosi can be used in contexts where an indefinite article is used in English is not a sufficient reason for calling it an article. I suppose that typological variation allows this kind of peculiarity.
