pg 220 in the book --

le nanmu zu batci le gerku
a long time from or before now, the man will bite or bit the dog.

and "'zi' by itself signals an event that happens at a time close
to the present, but without saying whether it is in the past or
the future.  a rough translation might be 'about now, but not
exactly now.'"
