Will shares a PIE root with the word 'volition' and is rooted in words associated with wanting or wishing

Shall comes from words associated with obligation or debt

Is the future something that will happen, or shall happen ?

If its something that will happen, I guess you should just pray harder and ask your lord nicely

If its something that shall happen well I guess you gotta do something about that

In English the construction shall/ will for the future is a leftover of a centuries old debate if we determine our futures or not

I typoed that phrase, it would be parsed 'my pouch of tobacco (that hands have been on) is inside the table'

So what distinguishes that phrase between my or our is your relationship to the speaker, or what they have their hands on

Or like huka is hand, so hm...

Htsa tabhee, pohok tobaako ye mwahukka víş
Your pouch of tobacco is inside the table

Mwahukka being something specifically touched by hands?

By extension

Seyekke

Seukke

Neukke

?

Hmm, so so far the only real pronouns are
ni (inanimate general demonstrative 'that/this')
nae (animate general demonstrative, 'that/this)
By default decribe something far, nae hokka would be something closer to speaker
Mwa is general 1st person me/my/our/we
Saeyye general 2nd person you/your/ya'll /yalls
Si is general vague 3rd

Reduplication, or using okka or another locative bit to mark alienable vs inalienable possession?

I can never get the invisible spaces to work ;~;
