Intentional Meaning

"It should, however, be borne in mind that even in the cohortative proper, the -ah does not add to the simple imperfect the ‘intentional’ signification expressed by that mood: the signification is already there, and the new termination merely renders it more prominent." — 1892, Samuel Rolles Driver, A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew, Third, Revised And Improved edition, Oxford: Clarendon Press, page 79:

"When Kafka’s novels are analyzed with the autistic frame of reference in mind the behavior of his protagonists make more sense and will reveal that Kafka’s protagonists focus on external behavioral cues which are guided by Kafka’s education and mindset of a lawyer. As such Kafka’s protagonists are a reflection of the thinking and behavior of Kafka the author. Critics and literary scholars misinterpret Kafka’s work by focusing on aspects such as the psychological and mental state of the characters, which are of limited actual concern for the externally intentional focus of the writer Kafka." — 2017 May 16, Jerry Stuger, “Kafka and Autism.

"Tariana distinguishes interrogative and imperative moods. Interrogative mood is marked through a separate set of evidentials fused with tense (see §14.2). Imperatives are discussed in §16.1. Modalities include: frustrative (§16.2), intentional (§16.3), apprehensive (§16.4), uncertainty (§16.5), conditional (§16.6), purposive (§16.7) and counter-expectation (§16.8). […] The intentional is marked with the clitic -kasu. It can occur with any group of verbs, marking imminent action, as in 16.60 and intention, as in 16.61." — 2003, Alexandra Y.
