𐰓𐰀𐰲𐰃 (-deči)

1. Forms the future tense of verbs

   ‎𐰆𐰲‎ (uč-, “1. to fly 2. to pass away”) + ‎𐰓𐰀𐰲𐰃 (d²ači) → ‎𐰆𐰲𐰑𐰀𐰲𐰃‎ (učdačï, “he/she/it will fly/pass away”)

1. The consonant mutates from 𐰓‎ (d) to 𐱅‎ (t) after being appended to a verb that ends with the consonants l, r and n.

   ‎𐰇𐰠‎ (öl-, “to die”) + ‎𐰓𐰀𐰲𐰃 (d²ači) → ‎𐰇𐰡𐰀𐰲𐰃‎ (ölteči, “he/she/it will die”)

2. For the negative form 𐰢𐰲𐰃‎ (-meči) is used instead.

   ‎𐰖𐰺𐰀‎ (yara-, “to be useful”) + ‎𐰢𐰲𐰃 (mči) → ‎𐰖𐰺𐰢𐰲𐰃‎ (yaramačï, “he/she/it won't be useful”)

3. 𐰼𐱅𐰃‎ (erti) Can be appended in order to create incomplete future tense.

   ‎𐰉𐰆𐰡𐰀𐰲𐰃‎ (boltačï, “it is going to happen”) + ‎𐰼𐱅𐰃 (r²t²i) → ‎𐰉𐰆𐰡𐰀𐰲𐰃:𐰼𐱅𐰃‎ (boltačï:erti, “it was going to happen (but it didn't)”)
