Questions using anō

There have been two ways that questions have been structured:

1 using question words, or interrogatives,

Kei hea aku kākahu?

Where are my clothes?

2 using a question intonation for sentences that don’t have interrogatives.

Kei reira ō kākahu?

Are your clothes there?

With the second example, anō will often be introduced into the question pattern and also used for emphasis.

Hei tauira:

I peke ake anō te tohorā i te moana?	Did the whale actually jump out of the sea?
Kei te haere anō koe ki te kauhoe?	Are you actually going for another swim?
He take anō tā koutou?	Do you people actually have another matter?
Kei te rūkahu anō kōrua?	Are you two actually lying?
