Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This is a straightforward combination of V{ssa}V, 'shall/future' and V{galuaq}V. Adding the latter is comparable to using the conditional mood/tense, rather than the indicative form in English, i.e. 'should' instead of 'shall', or 'would' instead of 'will', indicating some doubt about whether the future action actually will take place.
