"van voorneme wees (intend to), beoog (aim at)
"Ek sal binnekort 'n verplasing aanvra." (Van Schoor 1983:148)
(I shall shortly request a transfer)
"onder dwang wees" (to be under coercion); "verplig word" (to be compelled).
In this case sal is strongly accentuated:
"Iv sal dadelik teruggaan en dit gaan haal!"
(You will go back immediately and fetch it!"
"versekering" (assurance), "vaste belofte" (firm promise:
Ek sal julle nie alleen laat nie.
(1 shall not leave you alone)
"voorspelling" (prediction, forecasting), "in die vooruitsig stel" (foresee):
Iv sal eendag jou beloning krv.
(You will one day get your reward)
SOU (would)
According to Van Schoor (1983:148) sou is the imperfect fonn of sal and it
has only one common meaning with sal:
"van voorneme wees" (intend to), but somewhere in the past:
Hv sou die huis vir sv ouers koop.
(He would buy the house for his parents)
Furthermore, Van Schoor says sou means:
"dit word beweer" (it is alleged); "vermoedelik" (presumably):
Hv sou die man vermoor het.
(He would have murdered the man)
KAN (can) and KON (could) mean:
"vermoe" (ability); "in staat" (capable):
Hv kan goed rulZbv speel.
