Dear Claudia, <br>
<br>
<br>
Malcolm is right lots of ways to express these<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In Banoni <br>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><i>nobe </i>'again' [post verbal between the verb and
object clitic pronouns]<br>
</li>
<li><i>meke </i>'too' [part of NP after noun]</li>
<li><i>geroo</i> expresses reflexive [between the verb and
object clitic pronouns]<br>
by itself expresses 'return'<br>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
<br>

<div>There are all sorts of terms for 'again' in Western Oceanic,
but the one that it reflected frequently is POc *mule, a verb
meaning 'return, repeat'. I assume it was used in serial verb
constructions in POc and has been grammaticised in various
daughter-languages.</div>

<div>I can't help you with SE Solomonic: 'again' doesn't appear in
Tryon and Hackman, and I haven't collected SE Solomonic data
myself. Maybe someone else on the list has.</div>

I've been trying to find out if there is any
reconstruction for Proto-Oceanic (or maybe
Proto-Southeast-Solomonic) for a form meaning 'again'
or 'also', but so far haven't been successful.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
The reason why I am interested in this is that there
are two lexemes with this meaning found in Gela and
Bughotu (both Southeast Solomonic, spoken in the
central Solomon Islands),<span

class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(positioned
between a subject/TAM marker at the beginning of a
verb complex and a verb). Is any evidence for either
of these to be 'proper' Oceanic?<br>
<br>
I'd be grateful for any information or references!<br>

Thanks in advance,<br>
