What I mean is a futur that is not using a word that has another meaning but that could mean futurity like english "will" A language which way to form futur can't be linked to another meaning that became a way for a futur "As you want" and "As you will" are (as much I know) the same, but "I want to go" and "I will go" are not at the same time only because one form of the verb "will" has taken a futurity meaning - Max
