<p>Now, if someone wants to pull up a few instances of <b>-nIS</b>
being used where an agency is imposing an action and
consequences of failure on the subject, and not just
instances where the English translation uses <i>must,</i>
I'll be happy to revise my opinion.</p>

I thought of one such example immediately, but I didn't respond
because I expected it to have been in the list presented by
André. Now that I've had time to read the rest of the thread, I
see he didn't include it.</div>

<p>I agree that it's likely a valid example, and I can see why it
might be controversial as one. It's in response to the question, <b>pa'
jIyIt'a'</b><i> do I walk there? </i>(which is translated <i>can
I walk there?</i>). It could go either way.<br>
