In Natece-atechana, the answer is very simple as "that" is a loanword
from English in Natece and the word order is the same:
ententa tlecen that thece tece-enne thleat celtene.
I think that this very heretical thread dead
(What to do to make tlecen past tense is another problem that was never
consistently solved.)
In Rihana-ye, I suffer, as another comment remarked, from severe
interference from English as L1.
In theory, it should be something like:
Seba se fugehevi batediha wono-i wivajo.
I this very unholy thread dead thought.
But I tend to carelessly write the equivalent of:
Seba wivajo se fugehevi batediha wono-i.
I thought this very unholy thread dead.
