71 of water. They put little Hawaiian salt. They say word of prayer. Then you sprinkle in the house, every room. Then the rest, you throw on the top the house. That clears out all the devils, or something like that. Hawaiians used to do that. And then, whatever funeral you go, then when you come back, they do that to you too. Take away all the bad. Cleaned away all the stuff. Majority of old Hawaiians do that. But today, they don’t do that. ER:873 Yeah. After that something happen, I don’t know. TA:39 Yeah, he became an agent. Until he got old and John Loo taking over his place now. That’s from Honolulu Poi. Well, that’s something happened that, well, I think I better not talk about that.

5.9.4 Examples of ting

5.9.4.1 THINK ting There is a single example of ting occuring with THINK: FD:296 If you do things by your own self, you know the value of things, that is going to help you too. There’s so much things, that when you-raise taro, there’s so much things that you can think that, that taro would help you. I know for myself. Like, if you have some bills to pay. You have not enough like now, we get our income. Everything is so high. Like us, our foodstuff is very expensive to have, everything when you buy. Is not enough. So we have taro like that; we can put away something, some of our savings and some we can spend for our own use. Taro is important to me. 5.9.4.2 FEEL ting This is the closest example we have in our corpus to the frame FEEL SOMETHING. This FEEL is obviously used to refer to tactile feeling and not emotional feeling. FD:274 Yeah, that thing just like the tea leaves. Small leaves. And then have the small little pokeys. Sometime, if only one loose in the pants like this, you can feel that thing. Oh, you can feel ’em, eh? That plant. 5.9.4.3 WANT ting Here is an canonical example of ting and WANT where ting refers to a situation. MT:1196 Well, the road is there, the County’s improving it right now, as far as that goes. They going to maintain it, they have to, they know. So they fixing it slowly. They getting it done. Everything, as I say, takes time. But the thing I want, if they want to do anything, get that cattail out of the valley, to begin with. And get the State or whoever can maintain our rivers for us so the farmers won’t have too much of a problem.

5.9.5 Examples of wat

5.9.5.1 THINK wat There are a few canonical examples of wat in combination with THINK: ER:822 I stay with my uncle. So I no miss them when I came over here. I no think about home. I never think about home when I go. I only think where I’m going live, where I going try help my uncle. That’s only what I think, for help him. 72 ER:894 So if they use that kind water most for the housing, the cesspool water, maybe okay. But they use all the good water, I don’t know. Over here, is the water system, how they take care the water. That’s what I think, but I don’t know. OC:7 I told them they get eleven children and I like to help them out because I don’t have to pay them cash anyway so the bank can give them that money to help their children. So that way there I thought what my father and mother say, “Always be honest with yourself.” 5.9.6 Summary Based on the corpus evidence we can safely conclude the presence of the following NSM syntactic patterns in HCE: X WANT SOMETHING X KNOW SOMETHING X SAY SOMETHING X DO SOMETHING X THINK SOMETHING The following syntactic frame is missing from our corpus: X FEEL SOMETHING 5.10 THINK 5.10.1 Primitive Syntax
