We are, in the context of missed trains and averted fights, asking if pu'o means the event EVER takes place. I thought before, incorrectly, that pu'o implies the event actually does (will) take place. Jorge and pc corrected me. Now I assert that pu'o should not be taken to imply anything about whether or not the event ever occurs; only that it seems likely to. I believe this is what Jorge and pc tried to convey. Am I right all all around? ----- We do not like And if a cat those Rs and Ds, needed a hat? Who can't resist Free enterprise more subsidies. is there for that!
