The 2 explanaions/meanings I found for the particle 'nari' are (1)
"either...or", similar to "izuredemo' and (2) "as soon as", similar to
'yahaya'.
Hope this helps. If there is a better explanation, someone please let me
know.
Thanks

Lately I've been reading Shoji Kakuko's "Japanese Core Words and
Phrases". (She's got some pretty good Japanese books, it seems.) One
interesting series of constructions I noticed includes the word "nari".
For example, "Boku nari ni...", "Kado ga akeru nari...", "Tabeta
nari...", and "Erabu nari erabanai nari..."; "nari" seems to be quite
common in Japanese idiomatic expressions. Could anyone here explain
these? I want to be sure I am using them right.
