So, I want to say, "It looks like it's going to rain soon."
First, I thought, {ghaytan tugh SIS.} But that uses two adverbials, and Okrand has never really smiled on that practice. So, then I thought, {tugh SISlaw'.} But that implies that soon it will appear to rain, or soon it will apparently rain...
So, then I start stretching it out to uglier constructions, like {tugh SIS 'e' vIpIH.}
Is that really the best I can do with this language? Something as common as "It looks like it's going to rain soon," is a problem?
