► 1 These are two very different patterns. ► 2 With kʷɬníɬ the event follows and the subject is indicated with the possessive pronoun on the event. ► 3 It is possible to say kʷɬníɬ cn. This means ‘I’ll do it right now.’ ► 4 The word kʷɬníɬ has the root níɬ ‘it is, there are’ and the prefix kʷɬ‑ ‘already.’ So the literal meaning is ‘it already is.’ ► 5 The second model shows how the word kʷkʷáʔ works. This word means something like ‘it’ll be later on,’ ‘after a while,’ ‘put it off until later,’ ‘pretty soon,’ or ‘slow down, take it easy, and do it later.’
