598 10 CliticsFor the K-d speaker (I did not check all dialects on this point), the h
extension appears not to be used after verb-final {i u}: sgluAdd 'come!',
i-t-iwi-\dd 'he was born (in this direction)'.
In several dialects (but not T-ka), C-initial syllabic variants Addad (after
vowel) or Adsd (after consonant ) are also in use. Note that the syllabic
variants are accented (except of course when the accent is overridden within a
longer phrase). Postconsonantal Adad is common in these dialects before
another C, and to some extent phrase-finally (656).(656) Dialectal variants Addsd (after vowel) or Adada. osas-nAdad

The Centripetal specifies direction of movement (whether completed or not)
toward the deictic center, usually the speaker's 'here' but sometimes another
deictic center within a narrative. With a motion verb like (PerfP) -osa- 'arrive'
or (LoImpfP) -mal- 'be on the way', the clitic simply specifies the direction
(or end point) using 'here' for reference. In the case of 'sit' (= 'stay'), the
Centripetal denotes proximal location and denies motion away from it ('sit
here' or 'stay here' rather than 'sit here and go'). With non-motion verbs, the
clitic suggests that the action was directed toward 'here' in some way, or that it
was accompanied by motion toward here.
