Question 67:
You are a linguist specializing in Rapa Nui. You are given a sentence along with its morpheme breakdown, gloss, and translation. Words are separated by spaces, and morphemes are separated by hyphens. However, a word and its gloss are missing and represented by an underscore. Based on your understanding, please choose the most appropriate option. 
Sentence (with missing item): ___ vānaŋa rō mai \ꞌā paurō te mahana ki a au.
Gloss (with missing item): ___ speak EMPH hither CONT every ART day to PROP 1SG
