Organisation/Hierarchy

• Texts may have an introductory sentence.
  • Can be a "topic" ege aminim or a "topic" nom egeng, but rarely.
  • Usually just a bit of background info
    • "We were at our place."
    • "Samuel gave me a pig."
    • "I saw my pig's testicles were ready to remove."
• Hortatory texts may start with an opinion, background fact or an exhortation to listen
  • "You should listen"
  • "You didn't get a good husband"
  • "I have thinking to tell you"
  • “My child, my son I am going to tell you my knowledge”
  • “What kind of talk have you been talking and going around?”
  • “How the things came down to his place (heaven) that we don’t know”
• Texts usually end with an "ege anggom" that signals the end of a speech.
• There doesn't seem to be a way to signal peak.
