One day I'll give the language a name... There isn't a general future tense. You could use "tomorrow", "next year", etc. for some things, but would use present for this. tt = ! hh = C nn = J etsa ttan ue ososo hue hnahetto hue anu hohhe sasesha otten ttan ue teose uenu oa hannoso attesho. uonau annu ne anu anoe hathen tto nanattaste otten nea suhoa hna hoshana ue ohheaso esoa nea oatte hna oshana oa ttan ue hannoso. IMP:NONE cause LNK death also steal also PAT much DESC:age person cause LNK pain due-to AGT:FOC execution threat. entire PAT:PL:LG who PAT this law not SUB:obey person INST stone LOC large-body-of-water LNK drown or INST boiling LOC water AGT:FOC cause LNK execution. Of course, the speakers of the language would find this hilarious. It's certainly not something they would write. If you were foolish enough to try to take it to them, they'd laugh uproariously (except for the ones holding blades at your throat) and then, in what they'd consider an amusing twist, they'd boil you alive. -- JC Watch the Reply-To...
