**Likewise with {{tp|A li B ki C e D e E}}, which {{tp|e}} ends the {{tp|ki}} clause? Or can {{tp|ki}} not be used in this position? Or is it unclear?
|section}}
{{tp|ki}} acts like a {{wp|relative pronoun}}, similar to English "which", "who", or "that".
{{Example
|jan <mark>ki</mark> moku e kili
|the man <mark>who</mark> eats fruit
}}
Ambiguity may arise with more complex sentences, e.g. "{{tp|jan ki moku kili li tawa li pona}}" could mean either "the man who eats fruit moves and is good" or "the man who eats fruit and moves is good".{{citation needed}} This ambiguity is avoided in {{tp|sitelen pona}}, as the scope is marked with an underline connected to the glyph (see [[#{{tp|sitelen pona}}|#sitelen pona]]).
