Surprisive
The conjunction garaa alternant garaahano introduces a surprisive clause, that is, information which is unexpected at that point in the discourse. This may involve a simple expectancy reversal as in I thought A, but it turned out that B or, more frequently, in narrative discourse, where the 9 THE SENTENCE 257 next stateevent falls outside the logical and cultural rules of what can be expected. 200 soo-ku ihintu mie-no Kanada, garaa o Walanda thought-my you person-POS Canada SURPR ART Holland I thought you were Canadian, but you are Dutch 201 no-kala-mo no-maho-ti-e; garaa miina nae-wora hae-hae 3sR-go-PF 3sR-near-TR-it SURPR not 3sR-see RED-what she approached it, but did not see anything 202 no-wora kaawu wewi ini, garaa o wewi maitu 3sR-see after pig this SURPR ART pig that ta-no-si-ka-bisara-ha-mo TA-3sR-SI-KA-speak-HA-PF when he saw the pig, the pig suddenly began to speak Garaa often functions as a free conjunction introducing new sentences in narratives. In this respect it is similar to pasino and then, the difference being that garaa has the extra overtones of unexpectedness but then. Certain less experienced story-tellers tend to overuse it, thereby reducing these overtones. The demonstratives ini and itu can follow this conjunction see also 5.5.6; garaa ini has future reference, while garaa itu refers to the past. 203 garaa ini, niho-mo o-k[um]ala-mo? well, are you leaving only now?
