True, but i was thinking in terms of *just* that phrase, not another verb
in front ;).

Which reminds me.....what was the arabic phrase ojalá comes from (ya, i
know it has been discussed here). A book i read claimed "wa sha illah". If
so, and if the Montreianos used the same phrase, it would probably become
"uaxalá" /waSa'la/
