In certain idiomatic turns the primary signification of ia-i- is as 

 good as lost: 

 {he^l-)hai-imats!a^]c' h.ehega,n to sing (lit., he-song-out-put) 102.17 

 ba-i^/%i'^^' hecomes92.1, 2; 156.24; 168.13 



13. p!a-i~ down: 



plai^ii^.'ana'M^Ti I held him down 



^\2i,-\gwidi^¥'' he threw it down

p Isiiyowo'^ they sat down Qiterally, they down-were) 56.2 



p \sb-isgaya'pxde^ I lay down 



14. aba-i- in house, into house 



It would perhaps be best to consider this an independent adverb 

 (demonstrative pronoun a- this + ha-i-, formed analogously 

 to eme^ here [ = demonstrative adverb e- here + me^]) ; its 

 correlative relation to ha-i- makes it seem advisable to give 

 examples of its occurrence here: 



&ha.igini'^F he went inside 25.8; 27.7,13; 64.3 



abai/ti-wiZi'"^ he ran inside 16.12

15. bam- up into air 



This prefix occurs often with preposed elements gel- or dl^- as 

 gelbam- or di^ham-, which would seem to mean respectively
