Description:Elicitation session with Sammy about modifiers and names of snakes. The noun modifier part has been written up by Saskia. I planned to get nouns from all noun classes with some modifiers of which we thought they might agree with the noun class of the head noun. I asked Sammy for a word + modifier and asked him to make a sentence with it and whistle it. At some point I asked for the word for snake, and the session took a different turn when Sammy started to tell which kinds of snakes they have here. I got many words for the different kinds of snakes, with explanations of what they look like, where they live and how they behave. After that, we briefly got back to the nouns and modifiers, but didn't have time to finish it. Procedure explained in English, words asked in English, Sammy was asked to make his own Avatime sentences with the words. Discussion about snakes in English.
