<p>In reply to: (none)
<p>It says:
<blockquote>
<p>To form the volitional, add an initial <b>e</b>, voice the initial consonant (if any), then switch the first two vowels (that is, the added <b>e</b>- plus what was the first vowel of the root). A final -<b>y</b> returns to -<b>u</b>.
<blockquote>
<b>agenu</b> I intend to see, I will see, see! (volitional, uncompleted action)
<br><b>agune</b> I intended to see, I will have seen (volitional, completed action)
<p><b>ideru</b> I intend to work, I will see, work!
<br><b>idure</b> I intended to work, I will have worked...
<p><b>uzedu</b> I intend to call, I intend to be called...
<br><b>uzude</b> I intended to call / no longer be called...
</blockquote>
<p>The volitional forms emphasize that the agent consciously <b>intends</b> the action (imperfective) or the result (perfective).
<blockquote>
<p><b><u>Pucso</u> mabu. </b>
<br>I kicked the dog (perhaps accidentally).
<br><b><u>Opucse</u> mabu. </b>
<br>I kicked the dog (on purpose).
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
If the initial consonant is to be voiced, I think it should be <b>obucse</b> here.
