Äñ
The modifier Äñ is related to the word jÄña, “middle”, So, Äñ generally concerns itself with middle-ness. Combined with the directional prepositions, rÄ and rÅ«, the concept becomes less clear. For example, rÄ NP Äñ means, predictably, into the middle of NP or amid/amidst/among NP. If the NP is a large area, however, it can mean throughout NP. rÅ« NP Äñ, in contrast, means around NP or surrounding NP. So, with rÄ, Äñ denotes a space (NP) and the thing spoken of is inside that space, not near an edge, and possibly in multiple spots inside that space. With rÅ«, Äñ again denotes a space (NP), but now the thing spoken of is specifically not inside that space, but rather outside of it, at multiple spots outside of it.





rÄjÄñ
rÄjÄñ is rÄ NP Äñ without a specified location, and so means ‘to the middle’, ‘to among’, or ‘throughout’.





rÅ«jÄñ
Likewise rÅ«jÄñ is rÅ« NP Äñ without a specified location, and so means ‘surrounding’ or ‘around’.
Examples:
ñamma sÄim makkepÅlien rÄ anmÄrwi Äñ pÄ“xa
They became scattered throughout the world.
[pēxa is there for emphasis]
ñi sÄim rÅ« sÄen Äñ;
They gathered around him.
Note: That’s it for motion and direction, for now anyway. Feel free to ask questions about anything I didn’t cover. Next up, kinship and clan words, for a bit. After that, I’m not sure. Leave me a suggestion.
