5.30.4.2 taim DO-Clause There are substantial numbers of canonical examples combining taim and DO:
AK:622 No. Only I know those years when I was living down there, and no such thing as that. Was
just what I say, the Filipinos, they were good. You know, most time, Filipinos, they try to do something, but no. Even if they drunk, they always really good. We all share together. We never did hear anybody
stealing. AK:665 Yeah, inside the stone wall. Something like stone wall. Like now, she or he wen die, they
stay put the money on top the eye. One dollar. We go there, we go look, eh. Broke down the stone wall, or whatever thing. We did that how many time.
AK:670 Was just plain that way. That time never have all this other pests come in. You know, in
those time, that’s why I say, that time they never try get something to do with that. Instead of letting it grow. Before, no more guava bush Waipio, like that. Then all kind vine now. Before, you going Waipio,
as soon as you going down, you see everything. All plain. You go down the beach, you look up, all. Now, even down the beach, you look up, you see tree, you no see anything.
BB:017 Stop. Down below red you see, you gotta put your red up. Then the guy goin’ stop. Otherwise no can see the flag down below. ’A’s why when it’s white eh; and if down below is red and
you white, the darn thing still goin’; ’A’s why by-n-by get accident. Important that one; ’a’s why kick out, and they told me to do that, so every time I was doin’ that. I never make one mistake – they tell me you
good. So, they send me to the Landing. You know, from the boat to the landing, that one. I was taking care of two machine.
FD:252 Well, when he pounded, you know. One, two, and then they wet the hand and they used to make noise, you know, underneath the stone. I can do that too. You know, wet the stone and then you
make that noise like that. Eh, make big noise. You ask Roy. Maybe Roy he did that one time, eh. He demonstrate to you folks, eh? That’s how my dad used to do. But my dad, he’s a husky man. And he’s not
black like me He’s not brown like me. He’s fair, you know. I think Roy remembers seeing my dad.
GF:325 No, sugar company get nothing to do. But sometimes the farmers, they not so good to one another. Especially, like Toledo, eh? He go in the river, he dredge the river. He damage other people’s
property. Toledo did that to me lot of times, though. But I didn’t do anything to him. That’s up to him.
MM:327 Yeah. And then, because plenty fellas wen go take a look, he go, and he go up, and then
circle ’round, land. You know, he did several times for the people look, eh?
MT:1174 So far, no. Because it’s a stream like, see. Once in a while, I go in with my tractor and
kind of clean all that. You know, get shrubs growing over. I just clean out the ditch. But it’s very — I did it maybe only one, two times yet, so far.
NK:933 And when we climb up the hill–you know, as you going down and go to the beach, when you go down the rock road and you down–we come up the hill, we look up Napo‘opo‘o School. The flag

policeman come down.
237 NK:946 But when this Hawaiian people, the Lono family stayed down there.... Us, we hardly stay
down the beach, see? Because get mahi‘ai place, get coffee land. That’s why, my father folks, no can go in beach all the time. So, that’s why. Only when we go beach sometimes, when we like go holoholo
down the beach, we go. That’s when he go fishing. I don’t know what happened–what da kine did at that time. So, this Hawaiian people down there broke the fence and fence another small fence way outside by
the roadside, pili to the road, and come up. And then, they say, oh, they let go calf inside there, cow. Because they used to keep mama cow; and the baby cow, they put inside there.

to the back side. Mostly, you got to go in the back side and work your way out, eh? Otherwise, if you going to work from the top, if you going burn from the top, the wind going carry and he going jump on
the other side, eh? That’s why, we get, lot of time, jump fire, too. If a big field, if next to where we going to burn is another field and it’s big cane already, it’s almost ready for harvest, but we no like ’em jump

5.30.4.4 taim THINK-Clause There are three canonical examples of taim occuring with the NSM predicate THINK:
AK:600 Well, It’s simple. Really. That time, I think to myself, “How come they do that? They have
the bag, why don’t they put in the bag?” But they said, “No, it’s ’lot of more waste more time.” To me, it’s just about the same but when we reach there, we got to broke the taro and put in the cooker. So, we
the young generation, the one that did show them to put in the bag and more easier. Easier to handle and easier to work. Then, from that time on, we put in the bag.
ER:777 Well, I don’t know. That time, I no think nothing. I only think for go work. I only think
work. And when I come over here work, I only start with eighty cents a day. For eight hour, you know, only eighty cents.
ER:786 He tell, “You look this one, you compare this one to this.” So I look what’s the difference. Then he tell you what the difference. You look, but you tell him, “Shee, I don’t know the difference. To
me, look like the same.” “No, this one narrow, this one heavy build, bull, short, heavy. This one long, no more.” He tell you all this kind, and you gotta think every time, eh, how they tell you. What kind big,
what kind this one. And then, he tell you, “This one how many pound, you think?” So, like me, just like I guess, yeah. I tell ’em, maybe this one 500 pound, and he tell you how you know if 500 pound.

fertilizer, hapai ko. I don’t know if, maybe, for that reason now, I feel pain all time on my shoulder.
MT:1175 But the poi shop was gaining because we didn’t know the weight at that time. We didn’t have no scales, see. Then, when I went into the scales, scaling all my taro and stuff, then I took notice
how much I was losing. But actually, at that time, as long as you make money, you don’t feel it. But at present, right now, every farmer grumbles.
