Close!

N' = (nou) = we
a          = future indicator (shall)

Actually, the "a" is derived from "aller" but it's lost any functional
connection long ago, and now serves entirely as an auxiliary verb along with:
        ap = progressive indicator
        te = past indicator
        ta = subjunctive indicator

       N'a pale pi ta,
           Rachel



       N'a pale pi ta,
