Ekẹ̄tu

=Old Moca=

Etymology
From Old Sumrë akistȯ, the dative of akiste ("forward"). Old Sumrë used this as a possessed noun to mark a phrase meaning "in order to X". In Old Moca it no longer appears as a possessed noun as it has grammaticalised into a purposive particle and always after siköl ("because").
