ala hui oilimaite

*before the last night

The repeated thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth phrases (lines 24, 25 and 27) of the intermediate version of the Oilima Markirya poem (PE16/77). The first word is ala “before” followed by hui “night” and oilimaite “last”. This phrase corresponds to phrase in the English translations of the poem LA2a-LA2b (PE16/68-9): “before the last night”.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> ala hui oilimaite = “✱before night last”

Conceptual Development: The second word “night” was first written fuin (line 24) or fui (lines 25 and 27).
