* "If I owned a unicorn, I would feed it." | |||
** {{T|She hâqdoa jí tu shıtuaq bö jí hó, keo bo jí sıa hao da.}} has to be phrased much differently than the original, and is long. | |||
** {{T|Baq guo sü kîaı jí sa shıtuaq bı, mu paq gúo hâqdoa jí shítuaq päqtao gúo da.}} demonstrates the seed of different kind of phrasing, but is very long and awkward as-is. The idea is to have a single mechanism that covers both "if a unicorn existed, it would have a horn" and "if an event of me having a unicorn existed, it would include me feeding it" with some mechanism for saying "X's have property Y" even when X's don't really exist, and then to make X "events of me having a unicorn" and Y the property "the haver of X gives food to the havee of X". | |||
