ghunchu'wI' discusses {wel} which was introduced in the opera {'u'}:
When someone has earned a reward but the prize is not yet
available to be given, the person in charge of presenting it
can say {qawel} "I owe you}. It is probably also appropriate
when you have convinced someone to give you some service or
product with the understanding that you will pay for it later.
