This file is part of a migration of some old documents I wrote about Baskiv. (see 20151026064919)

Up until this point, all examples have used present tense. It is possible to specify when something had or will happen. To say something will happen in the past, you add the -sa suffix to the end of an existing suffix. To say something will happen in the future, you add the -ya suffix to the end of an existing suffix.
For example:
