Comment:
In some varieties, it is possible to find atxa ki 'think that' (as seen in another example listed under this feature) instead of atxa ma. It is also worth noting that there is a tense distinction between the clauses introduced by ma or ki and those introduced by pa. Ma and ki select for tensed clauses whereas pa selects for infinitival clauses.
