==== definition ====
p<sub>1</sub> expects/looks for the occurence of p<sub>2</sub> (event), expected likelihood p<sub>3</sub> (0-1); p<sub>1</sub> subjectively evaluates the likelihood of p<sub>2</sub> (event) to be p<sub>3</sub>.
==== notes ====
The value of x<sub>3</sub> is a subjective estimate of likeliness according to x<sub>1</sub>, and is the basic determinant of whether nulpa'a means something like "hope" or "wish" or "expect", although nulpa'a never carries the connotation of desire; for that connotation see [[pacna|pacna]]. nulpa'a with x<sub>3</sub> not very close to 1 has no simple equivalent in English, but for objects/states with negligible expectation it is something like "wishing"; if the state is plausibly likely, it is something like "hoping". In both cases, though, the English implication of emotional desire is not present. The value will usually be expressed using inexact numbers ("[[li|li]] [[piso'u|piso'u]]" to "[[li|li]] [[piro|piro]]"); not-necessarily desirous wish, not necessarily desirous hope.
