Description:This session was done with a trained mason, who is called upon to build houses around Koukouba (p026). It was done in the same style of many sessions. I briefly talked about the issues with p002 beforehand and left it up to him to guide the session and ask most of the questions. I left the recording place and only came back to check intermittently on the recording. Again the leveling was a little difficult, because you never know how the person will shift around during the talking. So far most speakers in these somewat controlled sessions seem to be a little less lively in their gestures than they usually are. p027 was also present during the recording he was sitting under a tree a little bit away from it. He was quiet for the most part and simply observed what was going on. At a few moments he interjected something, but I do not know if it is audible. According to p002 and p064, when subsequently working on this text they voiced the opinion, that p026 does not know Nalu that well, in the sense that he uses a lot of Soso words and has forgotten the Nalu equivalents. p026 is probably a good example of how Nalu is used in Koukouba these days, in the rare cases when it is spoken. They also mentioned that his way of talking, groping for words is typical for him, in any language.
