244 Nevertheless, bambai has a very strong causal component:
ER:751 And they bring ’em down slaughterhouse. Every time I used to go follow them, eh. Sometime pau school, then they go up, I go, too, I ride. But sometime come dark, I scared because
bumbai I get lost, eh. But every time he tell me if I no can find them, go by the track. Stay by the track, so they can find me on the track, eh.
ER:766 I know when I go down, I scared bumbai I no like go. Every time when he get good luck,
plenty, plenty fish and the boat too heavy, he make you jump all inside the water. He tell you jump inside the water, you hold the boat. Ho, you think about shark, boy. And you know me, I scared like
that. ER:868 Yeah, they pulled me and Alex. From me and him work ranch, eh. They pull us go down
there. The boss tell us gotta go down there work. They give us horse and they give us one truck. Sometime we no go on the truck, we ride horse. Ride horse more better go slow, eh, easy eh. Right by
the beach. But only trouble, us guys we no scared car, we no scared nothing. Any kind no scared. But we scared da kine alive man. Bumbai they get gun, they shoot us, what?
NC:170 In week he was well already, strong. He said, “I can go home?” He said, “Oh, no. You
cannot go home. You gotta stay, or bumbai you get relapse, get worse. Relapse, you will die. I cannot cure you any more.” And that’s true, too, but I think main thing is that he wanted to make a little bit
more money. That’s the main thing. Then he said, “Okay, I’ll stay.” So he stayed and when he said, “Okay, now you can go home.” That was one week again.
YA:1031 The Chinese say, “Oh, I eat that, bumbai my eye blind.” So, next time he come ask for us,
“You get any more da kine shrimp for sell?” “No, no more, no more.” We no sell ’em, see? We dry ’em up. We dry ’em up, bumbai we put ’em inside another basket, you know. And when it comes very dry,
the shell already crispy already, see? Put ’em inside another basket. We use one da kine guava stick, about my hand size. Rock ’em. You know? You rock ’em up, and then you.... Those days, no more fan.
No more electric fan, any kind. So we put one big tray underneath here, and you put the strainer on top, see? Then you bring the shrimps. Wait till the strong wind come. You pour ’em down like that. The
shrimps fall down, and the shell fly away, see? That’s how they make shrimps.
I would like to propose that all instances of bambai can be accounted for rather straight-forwardly through the simple NSM formula:
119 after some time, because of this The component after some time would help to account for the observation that one never uses bambai
in a punctual context: 120 hi go jamp aen bambai hi faw dawn.
‘He jumped and he fell down’ Therefore, bambai must be eliminated from our list of potential HCE candidates for AFTER.
5.31.3 Examples of aefta
5.31.3.1 aefta TIME This has been a difficult valence to find. There are examples of aefta with a measurement of time:
AK:602 I guess the ranch do that because they working for the ranch. Most, majority of the customers is the ranch employees. But we have some outsiders. Sometimes they pay us the money, most
time, they take the money down to the office. We don’t handle too much of the money only. And after
245
the month like that, then, when the ranch makes the check, then either I give me or give you for bring back to the boss. That’s how we do.
FD:265 Well, one year. I stayed with him, after one year I didn’t have no child yet. One year and
six months that’s why I had my oldest daughter. But after that, one year six months, one year four months. How you like that? And you know, we didn’t have doctor. Like today you can stop ’em. I didn’t
want to have so much children. NC:193 Lotus, you have to plant, you know. Put ’em in, the first thing. Whatever is left. So, every
year, by the time the leaves die off and ready to grow, I dig the lotus. I transplant ’em here and there. Every year, he grow so much only. Then, after three years, I get the whole pond filled up. For three
years, I didn’t take anything. Not even for eating, you know. Just only plant. WK:719 No, no water. Just let ’em dry like that. So that the dirt get hard and the roots get more
chance to hanapaa the dirt. If you get water, the dirt too soft, eh? The root get hard time to bind to the dirt. So that’s the reason why you dry about two weeks, and after two weeks, you let the water in, and
then you can force the water in. Then after that, you going see the young shoots will begin to come up. And then after that, you run the water.
There are examples of aefta with a point in time: AK:611 I asked somebody to lend me the net and they show me how to use it and throw it, and I
practice. And I asked my wife’s grandfather how to mend the net; he shows me. Because every Sunday, he comes down with us, talk story like that. And then, after lunch, he goes back. Every time he comes
down I always be with him, talking Hawaiian with him. He’s very fond of me, my wife’s grandfather.
SU:1555 Yeah. After two o’clock in the morning, we used to get Dairymen’s milk deliver guys
used to come around. Because myself Barbecue was the only place open, eh? Of course, you go to Bluebird, they don’t have the full meal, eh? KC Drive Inn, they don’t have a full meal, eh? But my place
and Barbecue used to have full meal, so they used to come down. There is a only single persuasive canonical example:
MY:1457 No, we all moved out. After a while, we moved out. So, we move to Kapahulu. Like I
said, everybody start moving out because that’s only lease land. You lease. Presumably, awail is decomposable as SOME TIME.
5.31.3.2 aefta THIS There are no examples of aefta with an overt dis. There are a multitude of examples of aefta and daet
used anaphorically. Here are a few: AK:613 Baseball or volleyball, softball, whatever game. They all enjoy that. When we had that,
they used to tell me, the older ones used to tell me, before they have sports, they used to go play cards. They challenge, you know each section, he playing cards. And after that, they make party. Or, they go
swim. Jump – you know they get high place, they jump in the water and challenge each other. AK:656 Just leave ’em like that. And they going grow back. Just rot the leaf. Not every leaf, you
know. More like ripe, kind of yellowish and then, after that, they pau. All the taro patch used to get that. They call that “hapala.” The leaf part ripe.
BB:006 At the end, eh, he had to poke ’em right through, eh. With the gauze go in and out like that my father say, “Eh, stop already. I no like get sore,” he say. “I no care you cut off my leg, but you know,
no make like that already.” After that my father take care, eh. He came good. Ohh, my father sweat you know when they make like that.
BB:030 Yea. Around Kapulena. You can see on the road side. That’s where he fell down. My father used to tell, “Koko Yokoyamagashindando,”he tell me. I say, “Doushite shinda no? ” He said the fender
bin catch ’im in the neck. After that my father wen pass over there and came back. Somebody came running — came with the horse; “Eh, the [name deleted] man the car huli.” So my father guys wen go
over there help. But was dead already.
246 EB:1141 Humuula, yeah. Then, we come up. They get that moemoe house in Honalo. Moemoe
house–two-story house. Anybody can go there, rent, you get money. So, we went over there. We sleep over there one night, okay? Then, I went with my friend again. We go the other side for go find job. No
more job. We go fishing. We caught some, enough for eat. But no more ice, huh? Yeah, okay. And after that, coffee season already again. So, I pick about two weeks, I think. “Ah, this one, hard living.”
EB:1144 Yeah, yeah. That’s his ranch. I work in the pasture, and I work milk cow, too, in the
morning. After that, if no more job in the bank, I go pull weeds down the pasture. You see? It’s a hard living, before.
ER:773 Any kind grass. Before over there all dirt, eh. Any kind grass that get seed, we cut ’em, we
load up the Ford truck. Then after that, when we get ’nough load, then he say we go. So us three young boys, we stay behind. While he driving the truck all by the dirty place we throw all the seed. You know,
what we wen cut, we throw all the seed. Any kind place we go where get grass seed, we stop, and go cut. Cut and throw all by the dirt place.
ER:783 The first time when I came over here. Then bumbai after that, when Vredenburg time,
then they no put Lana‘i City. They only mark the ear. They put, like now, ’87, eh, they put seven. By the time come another ten year, the thing all gone already. So they put one by one. One, two, three, every
year. FD:277 And then all what they do is they have a camp to live in, and then they work for the
plantation. Whatever job they give them, they work. They said, they work little by little, until they got used to. And then after that, the first year, when they started to harvest the cane, they used to bundle
the cane, they used to pack on their back. They have pack animals, but they had the flume, eh? That’s the first time when they started to haul the cane, they had flumes, they lay flumes in the field, when he
first started to work.
JB:67 And we got to pull together. And you know, the taro farm is so deep, he come up to you,
between the hips. And we used to struggle. After that, when we work so hard, he cooks for us. We eat with him.
JL:16 No. no. Aftah dat, my pay came way up high. At doze day everyting poor but kau kau
cheap.
MT:1169 No, not at that time. After that, no one came in. But actually representation was for the
community, because everybody was living up here. MY:1458 Yeah, Kiakahi. Then you have the Lau family. Then you have the school there. Waikiki
School was there after that. On this side, you had the old cottages there. That people just stayed and, you know, it’s not a residence there, only cottages, old cottages there. So, we don’t know much of them.
MY:1478 No, this regular. Little League regular. The one that all the Little League, get all the one– you know, Honolulu get all the Little League, eh? I was coaching the one in Kapahulu called,
“Cardinals.” We get practice in Kapi‘olani Park. After that I coached a American Legion team league, couple years. That’s how I know Richards good because his boy used to play for me.
NC:151 Oh. yeah. You have to know how to take off. Otherwise if you don’t know how to take the thing is stiff, eh. You cut the tree the length you want then you split with the knife. Get little bit. Then
you turn ’em over like that. You got to make it come down like that. straight down. You know, the bark. Go like that. So that he come all soft, eh. Then after that you soak ’em in the water. Then you dry ’em
up. But rainy day that thing is slippery, you know.
NK:954 Yeah. Most, the Japanese. Well, when they see coffee was good and coffee was the one that
made the money, after that, the Japanese really made the money. Hawaiians, they only take care when they need, and they never care much for money. Really, our days, the Hawaiians, they no think, “Oh, sell
and make money. Sell, and we can make money.” SU:1563 Yeah, but if the government try hard they could get the place. They could get the place
right next to Sarashina Inn where they get the service station, and now they get the hotel down there, eh? Well, nothing but kiawe. They could get the place for me. And right across used to be nothing but
kiawe tree. And then, after that, they clean up the place, make a skating rink, remember that? Skating
247 rink. And right on the corner of McCully and Ala Wai they get one bakery, eh. Somebody made a bakery
down there, drive-in bakery, eh? They could get the place for me. TA:38 Uh huh. That’s how all these farmers wen learn, see? All this time, these farmers didn’t
know just what the price of the taro was. What those big shots give ’em, that’s all. And then, when my father start buying little higher, after that the price just....because these farmers get smart, see. Then
they start asking direct from the poi shop, how much one bag taro. All these Chinese couldn’t fool ’em already.
WK:698 Yeah. We live poor life. We live poor. We not rich people. After that, all the children took
off. Went Honolulu, Mainland, all. WK:704 They have kids, children games. Whatever games they get for kids. And they have all kind.
You ride the calf, and you go get the pig. You know they grease all the pig up. All that kind used to have. And then after that they have all laulau. Everybody go eat after all the games up. Waipio used to have
good celebration before. Honest, you ask all the old timers.
YA:1026 On the ocean side, get one small beach, eh? The horse can go only, see? after that, they
started making one road. Before, no more road, see? Bumbai, when we moved down to Kahaluu, oh, they get. They build one horse buggy road. They use a four-wheel wagon, just like in the Mainland they
call it “stagecoach.” YA:1035 Bumbai, the man trying to make the horse go, he no go. He even come down the road,
whip the horse, no go. He got to take the horse with the rope and then lead the horse, then the horse go. First time he lead the horse, the horse no like go. Bumbai, after that, I don’t know what he talked about.
He talked some kind of words against ’em, eh? Then he lead the horse go over. See? Those days are funny, you know.
The status of daet is currently unclear to me. It is possible that it is an allolex of THIS. At worst, it is decomposable into a configuration containing THIS such as THIS OTHER.
5.31.3.3 Clause aefta Clause We have found numerous examples of interclausal aefta in HCE. As mentioned previously, I will be
considering these as near-canonical examples of AFTER THIS:
AK:592 Yeah, we did that. The ranch line of work, eh? After we shear the wool and all that, we
bale ’em up and then we take back the sheep, back to Hualalai again. Good job but the pay is real cheap, eh, those days. But good, not bad; 30 a month. That’s good enough.
AK:610 Right in the back, that’s the spring water; we used that as a water, and we bathe there same time. Of course, that spring is big and the spring near. Then we dip up a place, a big place to wash.
You bathe in there. After we build that house now, then we make where we build up a shower and all that inside, and a outside shower and all that.
BB:006 After, you know, we take a rest little bit, eh, we get up, eh. ’Cause all us ether, ’a’s why we
all sleepy. After we go-tup, eh, the kin’, your father took us back. ’A’s why I know your father, you know. Yea. Your father was a jokey man, you know.
BB:006 [name deleted] the first and then all under ether you know. After operate, eh he pass right
in front of us. OHH the face all RED, you know.
ER:782 Yeah. Bumbai I go with them, I like da kine cowboy kind job. So after I go with them, then
bumbai the chief cowboy, he like me because I little bit lively, little bit quick. Then the other two first guys, the two Sam, they kinda leave back go plant tree.
ER:878 Yeah, the Pake wen take over, see. Then after Look, then Palumbo go stay. But he no raise pig, only he live down there. I think he rent the place, eh, but not the pigpen. Only Look wen raise pig
after the ranch pau with the pig. Then Look wen take. FD:265 Yeah. He married again after we left, both of us divorce. And then she died lately. And
then now he has another lady with him. Even of my age, if my husband ever leave me or whatever, both
248 of us. I wouldn’t ever think to get married again. That’s what the sad part. I didn’t want to have family
again. So I was with the clothes on my body, that’s what I had on me.
FD:297 I have time to do my work. After school, when the older ones come back, I just leave the
younger one with them, there goes the taro patch. That’s why I tell Deb, I do that. And today, I’m thankful that God had give us this strength and provide us with everything that I can think of. I’m
thankful. We don’t go begging to anybody. “Oh, we get hard time, we need this.” I don’t. GF:305 Well, they have big pans. They put ’em in the basket with the lid. And the Chinese pack
’em on their backs, on their shoulders, with the stick. And then they serve you in the field. After you eat your fill, then they bring the rest back for the animals. Dogs or pigs or something.
GF:324 They promise they going help Waipio people, and they going try to control the water so
that Waipio won’t have damages. But after they get elected, you don’t see anything. They forget all about you. And when you go to Hilo to see them, they don’t know you. The only guys good was Samuel
Spencer, he was good; and Kealoha was good. JL:18 So I went inside. My daughter tole me – Irene – “Boy, Penhallow came up.” “oh, we went
look the pipi. He know I know all this cattle, eh?” I tole Irene, “He want me come back on da ranch.” “After you pension already?” “Leggo da pension. I go back. Help him.” So in tree days I let him know. I
tole him, “I come back.” I work with him till today.
KE:139 An afta she was pau play in san, she was a’ dirdy. KK:112 An so he got ‘ome. “Okeh, honey o’skotch, afta honey we got take a bath. Afta no, we go
get married... afta an an go get married den get all dem babies to name an an den to name em.”
KN:137 Made it home, an den after da owl neva did i’ whey we-wheya we lived, MM:344 But for Koloa side, I know it’s only two guys because I only see got two guys. And then,
on top of that, they used to get one guy go every day throw lime. Because some guys, after they use the toilet, they no throw lime. You got to throw lime, otherwise going come real stink, see. Get one fella go
all around the toilets and throw lime. MT:1167 When the agencies come to the meeting, they was in the meeting themselves, too. Well,
we had to invite everybody. We cannot be — the agencies has to know what the problem of the farmers, too, in a sense. So the agencies came in and they said they cannot give this, cannot because freight is
high. Some of them, they sticked on it little while, and after, they just gave up. The prices didn’t go that fabulous.
MT:1192 I deliver my own to Hilo. So every Monday, I say I going to Hilo after I pau. Everything
is loaded, I’m going direct to Hilo.
MY:1454 Most of them all work hotel. Later on, after they got enough of hotel work, they all run
their own business. Like Murakamis, the ran the taxi cab. And Matsushige, they run the taxi cab. My father, they run the taxi cab. And Takashige, chee, I don’t know what he ran, now. I don’t think he ran
taxi cab. I think he still was at a hotel, I think.
NC:129 No, get little bit water. They harrow the land and after, they let the water in. They make
the ditch first, the space to walk, say about six or eight feet one row. Over here get one ditch about half a foot wide, I think. And the next bed like that. So I scatter this, you scatter this, one fella one.
NC:155 Yeah, they take ’em home. Eat ’em. You know, sometimes I think it’s superstitious. After
you take ’em home, then they offer like that. They say that thing already eat and everything. How can you tell if they eat or not? That’s one thing I cannot see. They say they eat. How can you tell me they
eat?
OC:1... So after they know me, they said, “ Say, why don’t you go to my friend’s grocery store. You
can learn something there. Just stay there and he’ll give you the place to stay.”
SU:1524 Yeah. Feed the pig, and then feed the chickens. And then, go to school. And then after we
come back from school, me, I like sports, see. Everybody come home, so I run and come home. I run and come home to finish all the detail that I have to do. You got to feed the pig again, see, and chickens.
Then, after I get time, I go in the pasture with all the boys, go play baseball. I do the same thing over and over, day after day, day after day, to help him out.
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
