Datapoint Santome/Polar questions

In addition to the final question particle an, which insists on the question, other sentence-final particles such as ê and ô are also common in interrogative clauses. However, the latter items are also typically found in non-interrogative clauses and should therefore not be directly associated with interrogation.
