> capu'i == caca'a > pupu'i == puca'a > bapu'i == baca'a > pu'i == ca'a I don't the above follows from what djan says. But: capu'i == ca ka'e je pu ca'a pupu'i == pu ka'e je pu pu ca'a bapu'i == ba ka'e je ba pu ca'a etc.
Well, he did a mix between that and what I had. The options would seem to be: capu'i == caca'a == "can and does" pupu'i == puca'a == "could and did" bapu'i == baca'a == "will be able to and will" or: capu'i == caka'e je puca'a == "can and has" pupu'i == puka'e je pupuca'a == "could and had" bapu'i == baka'e je bapuka'e == "will be able to and will have" In the first case, pu'i does not incorporate any tense info but is equivalent to ca'a. In the second case, it does incorporate tense info, but that is what John was supposedly denying. In fact, John said "can and has", "could and did" and "can and will", wich don't quite match either system. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
