The mood of Decisive Intention which is compounded of intention, plan and strong, unwavering decision is marked by the suffix -i ; occurs in the future tense, not in the nonfuture, and in none of the aspects except the iterative.

The moods of Decisive Intention and Hortative do not co occur presumably because Hortative is a stage beyond intention and decision-taking.

3.4.6.12.	The Mood of Ability
The mood of Ability is marked by lo(sü) when the ability refers to intrinsic organic ability or power to do things. It is, on the other hand, marked by lozhü when the ability is governed by extraneous factors, factors other than intrinsic ability. The negative of the former (viz. lo(sü)) is (lo)hro/loho and that of the latter (viz. lozhü) is loshü, the antonymous zhü and shü etymologically meaning respectively ‘be good’ and ‘be bad’.
