5.34.2 HCE Candidates

There are three possible exponents of UNDER to investigate: bilo, anda and andanit. It is difficult to find semantic differences between between these forms. It is possible, however, that bilo is used more readily to relate two locations rather than two things. There seem to be counter- examples to this generalization, so the matter requires further investigation.

5.34.3 Examples of anda

5.34.3.1 I AM anda There is one good canonical example of predicative anda and I: AK:658 Our house. I had made a stand. I made one shade, eh, and then stay under there. Put the stand, put the board, and here we stand up and pound. 5.34.3.2 YOU ARE anda There is a single doubtful example of YOU possibly combining with anda. WK:711 I thought she was one witch. She come hunched, you know, hunched back. She look you, underneath you, we used to scared of her. This last sentence has to be interpreted to mean that this lady looked at somewhere under you. In which case, YOU and anda are combined, but yu is not the semantic subject. 5.34.3.3 SOMEONE IS anda There is one good near-canonical example of predicative anda and SOMEONE: ER:810 Yeah, the light post. Right over here get one light. And then the other side get the toilet. No more toilet in the house kind, only over here, one big toilet for everybody. So all the boys stay under here drink. The men, they sitting down there. Sometime pau hana, they drink down by the stable. Bumbai they kind of pau, they come way up here by the light. Then they drink, bumbai they go home. Here I am making the reasonable assumption that the HCE token boi is decomposable in terms of SOMEONE. 5.34.3.4 SOMETHING IS anda There are a couple of near-canonical example of predicative anda and SOMETHING: AK:664 You see, they put more like a pit. They build up, underneath all that, build up the wall, and all flat with stone. And the bodies all under there. They get a special door to get in. NC:138 Yeah, yeah. Over the hole. And that opium has a little hole too because from the needle. Otherwise he cannot go in, eh? And with the suction over here, the fire under here, they suck that thing and that thing start to melt like that. The smoke that they sucking is not the opium, you know. The opium going be more like charcoal inside here. And, you know, they call them san cha, the second one. They take this out from this side. They get one wire and go like that, more like one. I don’t know what you call that. They scrape ’em inside. They take that out and they put water or tea. They mix that and they drink that. Uhhh, I don’t know what they get out of it. 263
