More Condition D in Triqui

Another example of a potential Condition D violation in Copala Triqui:

This may be more evidence that the 'think'  clause is syntactically subordinate, though semantically superordinate.  ('Went to the river...' is thus an insubordinate clause..)

More examples of the Triqui thinking construction

In this post and  this post, I talked about the strange syntax of the 'thinking construction'  in Copala Triqui, where some long clause [abc] is followed by rá NP, and the effect is to give NP's expectations, thoughts, hopes, desires about the situation described in [abc].

The following example is another strange one, and like a previous example, it might involve condition D violations if we try to interpret rá NP as the superordinate clause:

Here it is very hard to know if the material within the scope of rá includes the 'Herod thought...' part of the sentence.  Maybe not?

I don't think the aspect of the verbs tells us anything, since both completive and potential verbs can be in the scope.
