The passive has a tentative subjunctive/future form which is formed by adding ''-d'' to the singular endings and ''-si'' to the plural. This form has been found to correspond to both a wishing mood (similar to the optative) and a future tense as well. Presumably, it's unrelated to the optative as it differs strongly in form and comes after the personal suffixes unlike the optative which comes before. | The passive has a tentative subjunctive/future form which is formed by adding ''-d'' to the singular endings and ''-si'' to the plural.
