Connotations[?]

Modal verb used to indicate future action. Largely indistinguishable from fen ‘will’, except that the speaker governs the future action; e.g. fent ni filok ‘you shall not escape’ implies the speaker is directly responsible for preventing escape. This differs from fen ‘will’, where the future action may result from sources other than the speaker.

Etymology[?]

From fen ‘will’.
