This particle, as tbe prefix to a verb, indicates tbe future tense, and, like tbe

 aiyus chid, kut-lai-ai'-yus, he icill work ; o-ta'-sud, to return; tlo-ta'-sud-cbid, 1 will

Tbe letters A- and t before I are not only convertible, but often transposed and 

 sometimes dropped, while tbe vowels have no positive value. Tbe letter /, there- 

 fore, remains as tbe ultimate root of tbe particle. In combination, it seems to 

 signify also recurrence and periodicity. Tbe obvious derivatives from this particle 

 are numerous, and there arc other somewhat conjectural, but still probable ones.
