There are also many emphatic particles. The closing _ai_ referred to before, used in exhortative oratory, belongs to this group. Verbal affixes meaning “really”, “indeed”, and the like are used informal speech to give proper strength to the whole expression. In a wail a woman chants: “Haha, hanane, now really I do this, I remember my real past forefathers and really my great grandfathers and now really I will go on with my family-myth here, telling of this, of my beginning in the beginning of the world, of the chief who come up in this world, haha, hanane; and really this was my ancestor who really was going about spouting.”[142] [142] Ibid., p. 836. In Africa the telling of a story is enlivened by affirmative exclamations of the audience. When the narrator says, “The turtle killed the leopard,” the audience will repeat, clapping their hands, “The leopard, the leopard.” Emphasis is also given by an accumulation of synonyms. Alternate terms are often used in this manner and in the original they often have an added rhythmical value on account of the homology of their form. Thus the Kwakiutl sings in a laudatory chant: “I greatly fear our chief, oh tribes! I tremble on account of this great means of trying to cause fear, of this great means of trying to cause terror, of this greatest cause of terror.”[143] [143] Ibid., p. 1287. “I shall break, I shall let disappear the great Copper, the property of the great foolish one, the great extravagant one, the great surpassing one, the one farthest ahead, the greatest Spirit-of-the-Woods among the chiefs.”[144] [144] By “copper” is meant one of the valuable plates of copper that are considered the “highest” kind of property. The “Spirit-of-the-Woods” is the symbol of wealth and power, Ibid., p. 1288. The beginning or the end of a rhythmic unit is often marked by an interjection like the “haha hanane” of the wail previously quoted, or by the repetition of the same word. Both these forms occur often in love songs: Ye ya aye ya! You are hard hearted, you who say that you love me, You are hard hearted, my dear! Ye ya aye ya! You are cruel, you who say that you are lovesick for me, my dear! Ye ya aye ya! When are you going to talk my love? my dear![145] [145] Ibid., p. 1301. or in a shaman’s song:[146] I have been told to continue to heal him by the Good Supernatural Power, I have been told to keep on putting the hemlock ring over him by the Shaman-of-the-Sea, the Good Supernatural Power, I have been told to put back into our friend his soul, by the Good Supernatural Power, I have been told to give him long life, by the Long-Life- Giver-of-the-Sea, the Chief-of-High-Water, the Good Supernatural Power. [146] Ibid., p. 1296.
