The gap

I've decided sounds final, and I'll try sounds like a hedge. Neither one says how settled you are. In Agazan, the ending on the decision or try word says it.

The forms

Drop-in	Meaning
thehul / thehum / thehur	decided for good / decided, can still change / decided for now
thudul / thudum / thudur	committed to trying / tries / a trial run

The endings are back on the settled-to-passing scale: -l for good, -m the default, -r right now only.

A trial run (thudur) plans for failure: if it doesn't work, finding that out was the point. Use it to lower the stakes of starting something, for yourself or for someone else.

Examples

I'm going vegetarian thudur.
We're moving to Denver thehul.
I'm taking the job thehum.
I'm learning piano thudul.
We're skipping the party thehur.

I'm learning piano thudul says you'll keep at it until it works or is ruled out.
