a point of departure MUST be prepositive is gluing a piece to the board.
Furthermore, I can think of analogies at higher narrative discourse levels
where the point of departure function is postponed. Take for example the
narrative device called "flash back". This device serves some of the same
functions as point of departure but it in terms of high level narrative
structure it is postpostive. It is introduced after the main storyline is
already under way. I have a sneaking suspicion that there is something like
"flash back" at the clause level in NT Greek narrative. I will keep my eyes
pealed for examples.
