Future-Time Clause With inton

Inton is an attested variant of conjunction intono, “when” referring to a future occasion. Place it before the predicate naming the anticipated setting. In Inton umayka, aglutoak, “When you come, I will cook,” the addressee comes and the speaker cooks.

Each clause keeps its own predicate formation and participant marking. A named person can supply the occasion, as in Rosa's return home. A setting can also be impersonal: inton sumipnget means “when it gets dark,” without a person performing the change. The examples use contemplated forms; the supplied evidence does not establish one compulsory aspect affix after the connector.

Compare inton bigat, “tomorrow,” with inton umayka, “when you come.” The first names a time; the second contains a predicate and participant. The examples put the setting first, following the direct finite-clause witness. The dictionary also records a separate “lest” sense of intono; context distinguishes it from future “when.”
