qay'be'.  The Aspect marker {-ta'} has to show an action which is wholly 
completed.  The completion could be wholly accomplished already right now.  
But, because of the time stamp {wa'leS} the whole action will accomplish its 
completion tomorrow.

{-ta'} does not preclude the action being right now, the {wa'leS} does that.  
The {-ta'} does imply that the entire entity of action is "intentionally 
perfected."
