Datapoint Pidgin Hawaiian/Motion-to and motion-from

In the lexifier, motion-to and motion-from are marked differently (circumpositional mai ... mai for 'from'). In Pidgin Hawaiian, this marking is retained only marginally; in the majority of cases the marking is identical (both orientations with the locative ma).
