Etymology 2[edit]
- (personal prefix, reflexive) Used to form the second and third person reflexive of transitive verbs: yourself, himself, theirselves. May also indicate reciprocity among the plural person: you/they ____ each other. For certain verbs, this imparts an intransitive sense rather than a strictly reflexive one.
- titītza (“to stretch something”) → timotitītza (“You stretch (yourself)”)
- itta (“to see something”) → motta (“He see himself, she sees herself”)
- tolīnia (“to bother someone, to make suffer”) → ammotolīniah (“You (plrl.) suffer, You are bothered”)
- (personal prefix, passive voice) Used to form the passive construct for inanimate nouns.
Usage notes[edit]
As with the other reflexive prefixes and tla-, this prefixes causes deletion of initial i in verbs such as itta or ilpia, with the exception of verbs beginning with ih- such as ihquiti.
