The so-called gerund denotes in general an action preceding the action
denoted by the finite verb. The example below claims aproximately: "Having
entered the wood with their bows and killed the dear they will surely bring
(it) back with them."

Emne: [Pali] -tvA again: Gerund as Future?


Hello,

With respect, may I point out that in John's example below the sense and the
force of the
main verb (aanessanti) is being greatly weakened to the point of being
non-distinct from
the gerunds.

As the suffixes clearly show in the Pali example below, only one action
occurs in the
future.

Below are the links to the earlier discussions. I looked in these but was
unable to see by
whose authority one may ascribe `futureness' to gerunds. So, if you would
share where
this is coming from I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your patience.
