Examples of ba'a Usage
ba'a seems to be used in a mostly non-temporal sense. That is, it is rarely used to express "I expect that X will happen", but rather something like "I presume that X would be the case".
ba'anai does seem to be unambiguously used to refer to things in the past.
Temporal usages
ba'a do bazu djuno fi ro djedi
I expect that in the far future, you will know every day.
.ua .i ba'anai
Oh yeah, I remember now.
Non-temporal usages
.i y xu ro pipybanfi cu respa - ba'a na mabru
Are frogs reptiles? I don't expect them to be mammals.
.i lenu mi joi la tal. puzi casnu ti cu mukti lenu mi te preti fo do .i ba'a loi mlatu loi gerku cu zmadu leka kukte .i xu tugni
Me and Tal's recent discussion prompted me to ask you. I expect cats to taste better than dogs. Do you agree?
ma se xabju do vi la astn - ba'a vi la ubuty. xabju
Where near Austin do you live? Probably near UT.
ba'a do xabju le jecrsautkarolaina
You probably live in South Carolina.
I tentatively rule that usage is in error, and that the temporal interpretation should remain/become the official interpretation.
