Datapoint Pidgin Hawaiian/Definite articles
It should be noted that the definite article based on the demonstrative (kela) co-exists with ke/ka which are retained from the lexifier. Kela also sometimes specified indefinite nouns (although there is also an indefinite article akahi 'one' in the singular and kekahi in the plural), and so it glossed as [DET] in the examples, although it usually indicated definiteness. That it was often used with proper nouns also suggests that its function exceeded that of the definite.
