The d, in the meaning of “to stand”, “will-power manifesting itself by remaining motionless”, we have already met with, when we considered the construction of the action-words (§ 1), and further in emphasizing particles (§§ 44–47A), as well as in the ending of object-words (kon-di, kon-du, bon-di, §§ 63 b), 64 b)). In the last-named function, also in:

afu-dyi, principal person, ruler, afu-du-wabu, queen, ho-kuti-roko-do, your sandals (ho-kuti-roko-area, (from) under your feet), l-isi-bora-du, a (his) pillow, siba o-bora-do, the foundations of the prison, ma-bora-do ia, (being) without a foundation, isifo-do, door.

Di sometimes alternates with dyi and ji, (phonetically dzyi); a corresponding phenomenon has been noted with the t and the s (§§ 90, 113).

-(I) ji, -di, the preceding form is meant as a fixed place or thing. to-makwa church-iji man na-sika habe-ci-no ikita-ci bia ie, and when they had ordained them elders in every church, meli na-kurrada-bo goba bajia aba aba mun bawh-iji, and (they) breaking bread from house to house, n-ausa goba kiana na-uaiya na-sikwa-ji na-makwa, and all went to be taxed, every one into his own city, n-ausa kiana to-makwa bawhu-yuho-ji man ausi-n ajia-ci sa-tu ajia-hu, isadi-n to-makwa-ji, and they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. kena n-anda l-amun to-makwa-ji warea, and they came to him from every quarter, aba-ji-bo n-akoiwa goba na-uaiya na-horora mun i-ro kiana, they departed into their own country another way, aiomun-ji-tu kodibiyu, [over] the fowl of the air [have dominion], n-akonnaba Adaie-li Wacinaci ajia-n, akona l-a-n ka yara o-loko-ji mimi-aukili-di.
