221 AK:609 With my father-in-law. I wanted to move because after we got married, I told my wife, “We
might as well go.” But she said she pity the father, Ted was small yet, those days. They were very young, Ted, the other brother over here and one more sister, they were the three last ones in the house.
So she asked me, “well, you might as well stay here, help the father take care the brothers and sister.” I said, “okay.” So we stayed back.
Presumably, Ted can be decomposed as THE PERSON I THINK OF WHEN I SAY ‘ted’. 5.28.3.8 SOMETHING IS smaw
There are a substantial number of non-canonical examples showing predicative smaw combining with SOMETHING:
AK:637 No, no. I never did learn how to make saddle. Saddlemaking, well, maybe anybody can make. But the idea of making saddle is, when you get everything all done like this. Or, you get
everything all completed, and you put on the animal’s back. Some saddles doesn’t fit. You know, some horses, they’re broad, some horses, they small. And then, when you put on horse, like around here, this
place here, it start eating the horse back. Get hurt, eh. Then, maybe the saddle no good, see. Sometimes the saddle glide on the horse neck you know. Even though you get the hinge on. It goes down. But some
saddle doesn’t run, you know. This is my favorite saddle. Lot of people ask me for sell this saddle. I won’t sell ’em the saddle. Very good saddle, this.
FD:273 Mrs. Kaniko, now today, she had her arm dislocated and then I had one brother, you know the bone over here crack, eh? From riding horse, crack over here, and then you can see the bone coming
here. And then she used the same thing, but with jowi. The medicine is jowi. I think you seen this plant, it’s kind of velvet looking, the leaf. It’s not too big, it’s small. Have purple flowers. It’s not the big bush,
you know.
NC:180 Tractor. We have to hire tractor those days, the kine, from Andrade. I don’t have my own
tractor. Like nowadays, I get, but we cannot, uh, our tractor too small. We cannot grade land with it. Ours is just for leveling and tilling and that’s all what we need for now because the patch is already
made. NK:953 Some, you look, they green, you know, when they grow. That’s good coffee. So, they sell
by grade. They grade the coffee. Even like today, they grade the coffee, even the cherry we send. Your cherry small, you get small pay. Your cherry all big, oh, that’s good price, that. You no can tell you
going get 30 one bag or 40 one bag. Because they going send ’em down the mill, and then they going check up what kind of coffee you get, big or small.
SU:1533 So in nineteen.... I think was couple years later, he came out. The whole family came out.
We sold the cane field he had, we sold everything, and he came out. We stay at John ‘Ena Road. But the house was so small, we have to crowd, but can’t help it. So that’s the reason why I leased the property
from Magoon right next to Toma. You know, that fisherman, Toma? Then, I build the house.
5.28.4 Examples of lido
5.28.4.1 lido PERSON There are a substantial number of near-canonical examples showing lido combining attributively with
SOMEONE:
AH:152 An den da sma liddo girl walk ova da bwige, an ha’ one big monsta on side. AK:612 Well, an old man gave me. See, this man, he belonged to Laupahoehoe; he was living
Laupahoehoe, Waipio and Kona. He used to live in Kona. So when I came Waipio, he said that when I was a little boy, he used to keep me. But I don’t remember. Then, one time, I get a chance, I went back
and I asked my father if that was true. He said, “Yeah, that was true.” I asked who was the name of the man. He said, “Yeah, when you was a little boy, he take care of you.” And then another lady, the same
222
thing as that. She tell me when I was a little boy she was taking care of me. I not going believe that, but I ask my father, and he say it’s true.
FD:255 And then he used to deliver over there and you know where in the front of Fannie. Where that store used to be. Well, he takes the order from my dad. Somebody order from, I think, Kapulena or
further over. Yeah, my daughter. And then, that house where the little boy’s grandmother stay, Efuku, the little baby. Get one house below her, eh. That used to be the store now. Before. That’s where my dad
used to deliver all his poi. He used to get cash. You have to keep your own money.
FD:268 So I had all my children, every one I had, till my last son. You know the one passed away?
Almost four years, like this little girl. Every time he go play he come back to me. One year, we went to Waimea, my daughter’s place. Kaniho. We went over there. We wen spend New Year’s with them.
FD:296 She tell, “Hard time.” I say, “Yeah, hard. If you don’t make use of your time. In the morning, after breakfast, you clean up your house and everything. Then go do your laundry. Then after
that, you tend to your children because you bathe them, and time to feed, time for them to go to bed.” I usually do that. I had all my time. 10 o’clock, I bathe my babies, when I have a little one, little baby.
10 o’clock, he or she is sleeping, there goes, I can do other jobs.
KE:139 Uhm... dere was dis liddo girl play in san. YA:1021 No, no can tell which is female or male, they all run alike, just like one small, little baby,
you know.
YA:1021 Yeah. I was big already, like this, eh? Five years old, I see the small, little Indians
running around. They no big, you know. They black, eh? No more clothes, nothing on. And they crawling around just like da kine small baby, like, you know. That’s all I know, see? If they never tell me
that, I never know that was one–small baby Indian is menehune, see? YA:1022 Well, I believe, I think so, but they no tell me yes or no. You know, could be, eh? I don’t
think about they no believe me, but when they heard, they say that to me. One man tell me–one fella that I told him, I don’t know, when I was kinda old man already. Forty, fifty years old already. He tell
me, “You sure you saw a menehune?” “Yeah.” I say yeah, you know. Then, they say it’s all menehune, they never see. But no, they see Indian only, you know. So, bumbai, they tell me menehune is a small,
little man, see? They just like a person, but they small, little man, you know. Just like some kind of
a people that you cannot see, eh? But so small, eh? We assume that grl, boi, bebi, idiun, and maen are decomposible in terms of SOMEONE.
5.28.4.2 lido THING There is a substantial number of near-canonical examples showing lido combining with SOMETHING:
FD:245 So, they don’t have table like today, like all this stand. Everything is up, eh? You know,
they have the little stools, sit down and peel like something like this, and you clean. All the plenty water, they rinse ’em, eh? Everything went good.
FD:251 You see how plenty taro my father used to take care? He’s a big taro farmer. You know
where Roy is now? Where George Farm used to have. And where that little shack in front of Roy, my daddy used to raise all that. All over there used to be my dad’s place.
FD:255 You cannot be pounding poi all the time. Even me. I couldn’t help. I have to buy. And if I make with the machine, now. We have a little machine. If I make ’em going to be waste. Because not all
of my children eat poi. But the grandchildren would eat. The little one, she eat poi more than rice.
FD:293 Only him, he collect about 500. But he took early retirement, 62, and then he doesn’t
have the full coverage now. You know what I mean, eh? Me, I read all those in that little pamphlets, eh, that Social Security. I read all those and that’s how I knew there’s such thing as Medicare, HMSA for
old age; that’s how I go above.
NC:144 We used to ship ’em Honolulu. See. And when we like eat–I used to get the small, little frog house, eh. And outside he get the screen up and get a pond, eh. They can go in the house and come
out like that.
223
NC:196 Once. When the plant get little flower, that’s the time you fertilize. You can hardly see the
flower. You see, only the stem come up. Only the tip you see little bit brownish stuff. Just like flower, anyway.
TA:36 And what he make, that’s all his. More like you get in there, when he came Hawaii and
everything. Cute little bugga, no? I think I was camera shy, or what? I get one scary look, boy. YA:1029 He say, “Ho, get plenty little shrimps, eh?” Me, I was telling my mother, “If we sell that
for ten cents one pound, we can make little bit – we get rich, eh?” I ask the man, “You want to buy shrimps? Ten cents, one pound. And three pounds for twenty-five cents. You want to buy?” You know
what the Chinese man say? “Oh, I no like eat da kine shrimp. Bumbai I eat too much shrimp, my eye blind.” Ah, stupid, he tell like that, see?
YA:1057 Then, we go down Sand Island, we go spear da kine squid. Octopus, eh? And we catch plenty, you know, down there. But we no catch the big one, we catch the small one. When we see, we go
over there, we walk on the sand. You know, where the white coral, the sand over there, we look. Oh, there’s a octopus moving. We know. Okay, we get the spear, we poke ’em. We poke ’em. And the little
octopus, he no come up, you know. About that long, see?
5.28.4.3 lido PART Like the combination smaw and PART, the combination of lido and PART is problematic. The only
evidence is a single near-canonical example containing lido and pis, should be decomposable in terms of PART:
AK:640 Yeah. Before we had organized this Club, we always hang out, you know where that stream is. Right before Steve Mochida, near that stream. Where the concrete, the little concrete piece.
That’s where everybody turn out to be. Every Sunday, you see people all gathering down there.
