249 SU:1550 No problem at all. Those days, you don’t have no watchmen. You know, like now,
everybody get one watchman, bouncer, eh? Those days, no more. But after business start to go good, then you have to get the watchman because the soldier and civilian fight, eh? So, you have to get
bouncer. TA:58 I think so. Even this new one, I think the poi shop give the squeeze, going be same thing like
the other one. Nobody like see, after you take care your taro for year and a half, you don’t want to see ’em rot in the field. It’s not like plantation union go on strike. You get nothing to rot. Only you lose your
paycheck.
TA:59 Yeah, after I retired from working, I came down here and then I took over. Because lot of
people come down, nobody over here. My father was living down Hilo.
WK:714 Seven days. I used to keep my mother and my brother. Then, after my brother grown up,
went to Honolulu, I went Honolulu too. Everybody went Honolulu. WK:720 Yeah. No. See, after I get one field plant, the rest of the field I don’t have to worry, get
huli, eh? See? After I get this field plant, and I’m going clean up the next field, I get the huli from this field and you know, you get the next field.
YA:1035 They get a trail. Horse trail, see. You can get a horse wagon with four wheels, but the horse pull only. No more road, you know. All muddy roads. When rainy weather, the wheel go way
down by the mud. No can go, eh? And then, no more stone wall, you know. On the side of the trail is a redwood post and barbed wire. Three barbed wires. But the horse buggy not so bad. If you drive
automobile, you mistake, you go down. Boom, you go way down the bottom. No more hope. After they widen the road, then get car go, eh? That’s why they put stone wall on. Before, no more wall, you know.
Only barbed wire.
YA:1039 So, we lived there. Bumbai, 1917 I think, after I marry, I go in the Army, everything pau.
Then, when I see the price come up, shee, the house now going up the land. We can sell our house for 4,500. See? That’s 3,000 something dollar we buy, eh? Two, three thousand dollar we buy, see. Then,
we sell ’em for 4,000 something dollar, we make about little bit money already. Then we come over here, we buy this house.
5.31.4 Examples of aeftawad
5.31.4.1 aeftawad Aeftawad is relatively restricted in its distribution with only 32 examples in the entire corpus. There are
no examples of aeftawad in combination with TIME. In fact, there is only a single suspicious example of aftawad in combination with anything:
ER:801 Abraham Kauila. They pick him up, go steward. So he go down there, he go learn. You
know, learn about, what da kine. Then afterward that, he know all da kine, then he ask all the cowboy. We go join. Join the union. Because the union, bumbai the boss no can push us too much, eh. And then
we going get raise. Yeah. It is probably best to treat aeftawad as a portmanteau form whose meaning is AFTER THIS. Consider
the following examples: AK:640 Well, they used to have a store over there. And, I don’t know, that’s only good place for
everybody hang around. They pau church, they come over there. Then afterwards, then we move up to the school. Because before that, they had the school, but very small playing ground. Then, when they
had the FERA and WPA for a project, that’s when we opened up all that. ER:754 Yeah, Rapid Transit get that kind, just like train track, eh. Them two guys wen go get that
kind of job. They were working there. They never go school. We stay here, we don’t know. Bumbai afterward, we heard they wen take off from school. They no high school, they wen go work for Rapid
Transit.
250 ER:788 You gotta kill ’em. If not, he going lose weight already. If two year old, and you can get
that weight, about there, about 500 to 600 pounds, between there, you can get the meat, you gain, making profit. See, every time, you gotta think that. So every time the chief cowboy, he call me. “You
come. Okay, over here you look, you pick up.” So I start pick up. And afterward, all ten inside, then he go look. Sometime they take about five, half and half. He tell me, this one little bit long. No ’nough
feeling. Some, the steer is all right, but they no ’nough grassy, no ’nough full. Smart, the old man, Kauila.
MT:1196 And the plantation, that’s a flat income. You can’t go more than what the bracket is already. So you going to stay there for 45 years and what you going to get for retirement? Hardly
nothing. So, he thought I made the wrong move. But afterwards he saw, I was making more than him, he was thinking twice. I don’t care. Today, everything is so high, which we have to meet the cost. You
know, everything is unreal; prices and everything else.
NC:141 Mmmm. Oh yeah, he joined afterwards. About one year or so. NC:163 Every time, he tells me, “Oh, you wait another month or so.” Keep on like that. Every time,
I didn’t get any satisfactory answer from him. One day I stopped at Honolulu Poi and talked story over there. Honolulu Poi was nice enough, he told John Loo to take from me when he was short of taro. Don’t
buy outside taro. He was giving me 20 bags or 40 bags a week. That was good, so it kept me going. Of course, I had quite a bit of taro left. That’s the 1,200 bags. No, that’s not. That’s afterwards, I think. So,
he took them from me and ordered 20 to 40 bags a week.
NK:952 Bishop, yeah. Lease years and years to Bishop. So, they work until they died, and then, my father took care. Those days, the lease was not too bad. Only five dollars an acre, coffee land. Five
dollar, one acre. So, wasn’t too bad. But afterward, the lease came more up high, high.
SU:1571 I was going to buy the piece of property toward to Downtown side, 14,000 square foot, two lots down there, with all holes and everything, kiawe and everything. So my mother told me, “For
what you want to buy that kind of junk place? Going to cost you money.” I tell, “No, that’s okay. We can cut down the kiawe tree and then put sign down there, Fill in. Throw rubbish.” She didn’t like it but
afterwards, she say, “Yeah, might as well buy.” But too late. So, Chinese people bought the place. They fill in, they put up apartment houses, they rent ’em out. Fourteen thousand square foot, two lots.
WK:716 But the first thing I had in mind is, I told my mother, “You going put the land on me, I going buy ’em from you. If not, I’m not going back.” She said, “Oh, no, no. Since you going back, you go
ahead, you take the land over.” See, afterward, you might not think afterward the family might come in. After you have the land all taken care of, and all open up, and the land really good. Taken care. The
family might come in. Sure enough, right after I had the land all fixed up. They went even down the tax office, my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is a policeman; my sister husband is a policeman, you see?
Honolulu? They went down find out at the Bureau of Conveyance, you know where they take care the record. They said, “No, this land already, your brother already bought it from your mother.”
