|
where the speaker and the subject are
co referential, the determinative mood indicates a greater degree of decision
than the decisive mood. Consider the sentences
|
| (170)
|
/h 1 jyimcyane2 syépiyne3/ |
`I1 am determined to kill3
Jimchane2’
|
|
| (171)
|
| /h1
jyimcyane2 syégāde3/ |
| `I1 decided to kill3
Jimchane2’ |
|
The first gives the sense of the
inevitability of killing whereas the second does not reflect on the acutal
carrying out of the action.

Definitive : |
This mood indicates the certainty of the speaker towards
the performance or happening of the action, event or state represented by
the verb and also indicates the inevitability of the happening of the
action, state or event. It is marked by the suffix /-kõ/ and occurs with the
distant future tense marker /li/ and with the neutral tense marker /-yą/.
However, the requisite concord restrictions do not apply. An example is
|
(172) /syakõli/ ‘(thus) happened (the tale which is used
as a termination of folk tales.
|
| (173)
|
/h1
tap 2
thįkõli3/ |
`I1 (am definite that I) shall
eat3 food2’

|
| /cyį1 taphragam2
hanįkõli3/ |
`he1 (is sure to) come3
to Tafragam2’
|
|
| (175)
|
/nyś1
tį a rókõli3/ |
`you1 (are sure to) to catch3
fish2’
|

|
Repetitive : |
|
Not to be confused with the aspect repetitive-durative,
this mood can be explained only on the basis of discourse. When the verb
takes the repetitive inflexion, the mood signifies that the action denoted
by the verb has happened once before during the discourse. The suffix /-na/
indicates this mood. Consider the sentence
|
| (175a)
|
/tadyįwč1
khimyõnayągõ2
lakabsy g3
krįhająyą4/ |
`the squirrel1, angered2,
bit and dropped4 the wood-apple3’
|
|
The /-na/ in the second word
indicates that the subject is not the first to be angry in the discourse. In
fact this sentence has a precedent in (174b).
|
|
(175b)
|
| /kath
