Dear all,
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.
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), ghua (following a verb or a noun/NP) and ghoi
(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?
I'd be grateful for any information or references!
Thanks in advance,
Claudia Wegener
