Meaning
Right there; that very place. A run-together of 'deh' (there) and 'so', it points to the exact spot away from the speaker: 'put it deso' means put it right there, and 'ova deso' is over there. It is the counterpart of 'yaso' (right here), and the pair map the near and the far with the same directness. Compact and constant, 'deso' is among the small locating words that let Patois pin talk precisely to a place, here or there, close or distant.
