Yes, you can use {-pu'} with {-DI'} but it's not common. In fact, I could only find one example: 'uQ wISoppu'DI' maja'chuq We will talk after dinner. (PK) You can also use {-ta'} with {-DI'} : lojmItDaj veghta'DI' jubbe'wI' yInqa'meH chegh 'e' botnIS qotar qeylIS HoHmeH qotar qeylIS SamnIS Still, Kotar cannot let a mortal Pass his gates and return alive, Kahless must be hunted down and killed. (PB) QIStaq 'emDaq jenchoH jul, yor DungDaq Salta'DI' tagh HarghchuqmeH poH The sun rises high behind the Kri'stak, When it rises over its top, It is time to do battle. (PB) I couldn't find any examples of {-pa'} with a Type 7 aspect suffix however. --Voragh ----------------------------------------Original Message---------------------------------------- From: luis.chaparro@web.de Yes, I'd noticed that *jImejpa'* could be the key for not interpreting it in the past, but I felt a little insecure. I wasn't sure if I should even use *-pu'* with *-pa'* or *-DI'* for the future, but probably I was influenced by the German *nachdem* (*after*), which always comes with the present perfect or the past perfect.
