| First use | C003 A1 (to-si — la-tu ki pa-li-pu ta-ti-be — first future time reference without an English placeholder gloss) |
Composition
ti (time) + be (grow/come) — time that is coming; the growing/approaching time interval. Head-final: ti (time) is the head; be specifies the directional relationship (approaching, not yet here, will arrive). Contrast: ti-de (time that has passed — past interval; not yet registered but derivationally available).
Definition
proximate future; next time; upcoming; tomorrow (or equivalent near-future interval in context). The time period immediately ahead of the present moment.
Notes
ti-be is used in the ta (temporal) particle frame: ta-ti-be = "at the upcoming time." The unit implied (day, season, cycle) is context-dependent.
In casual usage, ta-ti-be typically means "tomorrow"; in planning contexts, it may mean "in the upcoming cycle/period." Contrast with ti-re (W103, recurring-cycle next occurrence): ti-be is the next time on the open linear timeline; ti-re is the next instance in a recurring sequence. C006 A4/B4 is the canonical contrastive pair.
