<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

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><i>ghua</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>(following
a verb or a noun/NP) and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>ghoi</i><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>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
