FUTURE

The phrase "Divination by smoke is one of the oldest ways to foresee the future..." highlights the words "SMOKE" and "FUTURE" for a reason.

In Georgian, the word "phuti" (ფუტი) means "smoke." From this, the adjective "futuri" (ფუტური) is derived, which—when combined with the Indo-European suffix for future tense—transforms into "futuro," meaning "future."

Thus, "future" is morphologically linked to "smoke."
