868 ā & ka mutu

 I find it interesting that there appear to be some features of punctuation in te reo that have word equivalents. There is the conjunction 'ā', preceded and followed by a comma, that seems to link sentences as with an 'and' or a semicolon. And there is the phrase 'ka mutu' that seems to function as a way of indicating that a point has been made (a bullet point, perhaps).
