Comment:
Ad Feature 17 "Special dependent personal pronouns" and 62 "Expression of pronominal subjects": This illustrates the non-emphatic subject form a in a main clause; hem/en, primarily non-subject form, here is the subject of the subordinate clause, expressing corefence with subject of main clause. Cf. Example 48. Ad Feature 95 "Complementizer with verbs of speaking": Here taki is a verb; there is no complementizer.
