<= td width=3D"16%" style=3D"outline: 0px; background-color: transparent;">5.2.2<= /td>

The SUBJUNCTIVE mood indicates that the factuality of an explicit or im= plicit presupposition underlying the statement is certain, but the factuali= ty of the speaker=92s statement itself is questionable or uncertain, the sp= ecific nuance of factuality intended being subject to the particular Bias a= nd Validation associated with the verb. Corresponds roughly with English = =91may,=92 =91maybe=92 or =91might,=92 with the added distinction that an e= xplicit or implicit (i.e., underlying) presupposition is true. Examples:

Maybe his kids are ill. [i.e.,= it is known that he has kids but it is not known whether they are ill]
=
{lo sei fatci panzi be do ku = bilma sei cumki}

SUB

The Subjunctive

5.2.3

His kids=92ll be ill OR If he has kids, they are = ill. [i.e., it is unknown whether he has kids, but if he does, th= ey are certainly ill.]

{lo sei cumki panzi be do ku bilma sei fatci}

ASM

The Assumptive

5.2.4

SPC

The Speculative

The SPECULATIVE mood indicates that the factu= ality of both the presupposition and the statement itself are unknown. Its = translation into English is dependent on the specific context, sometimes co= rresponding to =91may,=92 =91maybe=92 or =91might,=92 and at other times co= rresponding to the auxiliary =91would.=92 Compare the examples below to tho= se above:

5.2.5

COU

The Count= erfactive

The COUNTERFACTIVE mood indicates= that the factuality of the underlying presupposition is false or unreal bu= t that the factuality of the statement would otherwise be true. It thus cor= responds to the English construction of auxiliary =91would=92 or =91would h= ave=92 in its use to show counterfactuality (i.e., what would have been if = a false presupposition had been true). Again, the specific translation is s= ubject to the particular Bias and Validation associated with the verb. Comp= are the examples below to those above.

5.2.6

H= YP

The Hypothetical

The HYPO= THETICAL mood indicates that the factuality of the underlying presuppositio= n is false or unreal and that the factuality of the statement itself is unc= ertain. It thus corresponds to the English construction of auxiliary =91mig= ht have=92 in its use to show possible counterfactuality (i.e., what might = have been if a false presupposition had been true). Again, the specific tra= nslation is subject to the particular Bias and Validation associated with t= he verb. Compare the examples below to those above.
