Second question: {legh} v {leghpu'}. In the story the only chance Poseidon will get to travel the oceans is in the far future, in a mythical End of Times. Although for the purposes of the story, it _is_ treated like a historical fact. So, my question is: can you use {leghpu'} if the event it's referring to (the event that brings the hypothetical into the historical) will happen far, far in the future?
If I understand what you're saying, then yes. *wa'vatlh nem 'aplo' poSmoHlu'*/the container will be opened in one hundred years;/*wa'vatlh nem 'aplo' poSmoHlu'pu'*/the container is opened in one hundred years./ The latter refers to a completed action; the former is explicitly not a completed action. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
