(el/lel, benefactive, ma,ma, malefactive). There is a difference, but the difference is neutralized in Spanish (and according to some sources, also in Mapudungun). I think both cases can be handled by the same rule.

It has to do with discourse information that I don't have completely clear in theoretical terms, (and I'm even less clear about how it can be use by a machine translation system).

But if we are going to consider f/fu as a tense, and afu as two suffixes (a-fu), there would be a clash. So, maybe it would better to consider afu as a unit, that is always translated as the Spanish conditional (that is a tense (and a mood) in the parole-mapping).
