Verbs in -tcha, -dsha sometimes lose their final -a by rapid or negligent 

 pronunciation, like some other suffixes. 



-tell, see -ptchi. 



-tclia, -d.sha, also pronounced -tsa, -dsa; two verbal suffixes identical 

 in their functions, and differing only in this, that -dsha usually follows after 

 syllables long by themselves or pronounced long by reason of the accent 

 being laid on them, while -tcha is suffixed to short syllables. We find them 

 forming transitive as well as intransitive verbs, and implying motion at a 

 distance, or away from the real or supposed speaker. They enter into the 

 composition of many other suffixes. According to their signification they 

 may be subdivided into three groups: 



(a) With the meaning of "in the course of events, as a part of other 

 acts." 



Q)) With the meaning of "to go to, to be on the way to." 



(c) With the meaning of "to do, perform while traveling, moving, or
