not hurt nimuk. he cursed the knife and threw it far from him.
he fell.
confirm prediction:

1. did noni do what he planned to do?

1. was your prediction correct?

Explanation:

1. Did Noni do what he planned to do?

From the text, Noni planned to attack (implied by "Now! Now was the time to strike!"), but he "could not hurt Nimuk", cursed the knife and threw it away. So he didn't do what he planned (to hurt Nimuk).

This depends on the initial prediction. If one predicted Noni would not hurt Nimuk (due to his bond with Nimuk, or moral conflict), then the prediction is correct. If one predicted he would attack, then it's incorrect. Assuming a common prediction that Noni, due to his feelings for Nimuk, wouldn't hurt him, the prediction would be correct.

Answer:

No, Noni did not do what he planned to do. He planned to strike (hurt Nimuk) but instead cursed the knife and threw it far from him as he could not bring himself to hurt Nimuk.

2. Was your prediction correct?
