===Complementizers=== Complementisers are uninflected forms which only govern a following sentence. The combination of a complementiser and a following sentence becomes the constituent in a noun or predicate phrase. Mbula contains seven types of complementiser: #{{lang|mna|kokena}} β lest (I don't want this to happen) #{{lang|mna|be}} ~ nothing β non-presupposition of factuality (I do not say this is something which has happened) #{{lang|mna|(ta)kembei}} β like (I think like this) #nothing β asserted factuality (I say this is something which has happened or is happening) #{{lang|mna|ta(u)}} ~ nothing β presupposed factuality (I know that this is something which has happened and I think you know about it too) #{{lang|mna|tabe}} β presupposed non-factuality (I know that this is something which has not happened and I think you know about it) #{{lang|mna|ki}} β habitual event (This is the kind of thing that is always happening)
