§ 48. Indirective -{a')ld- 

 This sufiix is probably composed of the continuative -I- (see § 42, 9) 

 and the indirective -d-, though, unlike the latter sufiix, it is always 

 employed to transitivize intransitives, a characteristic intransitive 

 element of the aorist (e. g., -i-) regularly remaining. After vowels, the 

 suffix appears simply as -Id-; after consonants and semivowels, a con- 

 nective -a- is generally introduced, which, when accented, receives a 

 falling pitch. The general idea conveyed by the suffix is that of 

 purposive action toward some person or object, so that it may be con- 

 veniently translated by moving at or toward, in order to reach, 

 GOING TO GET. Examples of its use are : 



Jiiliufe^ I climb 



yada't^e^ I swim {yadad-)

 ally, they jumped at, for each
