In reply to: (none)
It says:
If the initial consonant is to be voiced, I think it should be obucse here.To form the volitional, add an initial e, voice the initial consonant (if any), then switch the first two vowels (that is, the added e- plus what was the first vowel of the root). A final -y returns to -u.
agenu I intend to see, I will see, see! (volitional, uncompleted action)
agune I intended to see, I will have seen (volitional, completed action)ideru I intend to work, I will see, work!
idure I intended to work, I will have worked...uzedu I intend to call, I intend to be called...
uzude I intended to call / no longer be called...The volitional forms emphasize that the agent consciously intends the action (imperfective) or the result (perfective).

Opucse mabu.
