speak in the future by turning the expression of
his will into the past by means of the convertible

5N or 'N, expressing the goal, the place, the
object toward which the will inclines, there
where it is fixed, and forms with it the compound
'Hl, m, or Rim, that is to say, the vision, the
act of seeing and the very object of this action."
