Note from asker:
| Thank you! Yes, I think that's the key. Luciano's discussion led to this conclusion as well. Your reference, "The Future is Foreseeable but not Predictable" supports this perfectly. |

Comment: "Thank you so much!
And yes, actually Luciano was the first to appear with this suggestion, but it seems his answer was offered in a not-for-points fashion, so my vote will be here!"

| Thank you! I did my homework before resorting to Kudoz, and had seen this, but found the "pre" element missing from "expressable", though it could be used with an adverb to modify it and express the "pre". |

: Isso em bom português seria exprimível, dizível, descritível, alegável ou afirmável. - Não vale: eu disse isso antes.

Ahhh sim... as palavras bonitas, e são tantas! Ainda vou preparar uma apresentação sobre a tradução port > ingl e o que o tradutor pode fazer para aproximar o texto ao jeito anglo-saxão.
Muito obrigada!

"um processo... previsível, mas, não preditível..."
Talvez isto ajude também: http://www.ciberduvidas.com/pergunta.php?id=1781
