- . express discrepancies between where
the speaker was at the time of an action
and where he is when he tells about it.
(Hardman et al. 1975:3.177)

An example of this from my research is the following said

by a young man from Socca who had left his town as a boy:

. mist.su.ni.wa.sn . . . ak"am jayt.ja.ni.w.t'a ...
Jeave ~— thus leave —*d133
S

. . leaving (my community) . . . thus, I left (everything)

The combination may also be used to express discrepancies
between the location of a person or persons involved in
an action, and the location of a hearer, as shown in the
following examples which occurred in a recorded message
from a man in Juli to his nephew in another city. The
message concerned the author's visit to Juli, during

which the nephew was not present.
