e, an inseparable preposition or prefix. 
1. Prefixed to verbs it commonly 
signifies ¢o, af, and is equiva- 
lent to ekta, as eelipeya, to 
throw away at a place. It 
makes a locative form of the 
verb, and denotes that the 
action is done at a place, as, 
ebaksa, to saw off at. There 
are two other locative pre- 
fixes, namely, ‘‘a” and “‘o.”

with ‘i,” it makes a collective 
plural form: as, inazin, he

have gone. 
e, intj. ah! well! said when one 
misses his mark in shooting: 
strange! why!

with thee. It also occurs in hee 
and dee, and seems to have the 
force of the substantive verb.
