1 FANTR
(-s, -ar), m.1) servant, footman (fant sé ek hvern á hesti, en lendir menn ganga);2) landlouper, vagabond.* * *m. [Ital. fanti = a servant; Germ. fanz; Dan. fjante = an oaf; the Norwegians call the gipsies ‘fante-folk,’ and use fante-kjæring for a hag, fille-fant for the Germ. firle-fanz, a ragamuffin, etc.: the word is traced by Diez to the Lat. infans, whence Ital. and Span, infanteria, Fr. infanterie, mod. Engl. infantry, etc.,—in almost all mod. European languages the milit. term for foot-soldiers. In Norse and Icel. the word came into use at the end of the 12th century; the notion of a footman is perceivable in the verse in Fms. viii. 172 (of A. D. 1182)—fant sé ek hvern á hesti en lendir menn ganga, I behold every fant seated on horseback whilst the noblemen walk:—hence it came to mean] a landlouper, vagabond, freq. in Karl., Str., El., Flóv.; fantar ok glópar, Mar.; hversu vegsamligr var konungrinn af Ísrael í dag, hver eð afklæddist fyrir ambáttum þénara sinna, og lék nakinn sem fantar, and danced naked like a buffoon, Vídal. i. 220, cp. 2 Sam. vi. 20. -

7 इति
iti
2) ind. (fr. pronominal base 3. i), in this manner, thus (in its original signification iti refers to something that has been said orﾠ thought, orﾠ lays stress on what precedes;
in the Brāhmaṇas it is often equivalent to « as you know»,
reminding the hearer orﾠ reader of certain customs, conditions, etc.
supposed to be known to him)
In quotations of every kind iti means that the preceding words are the very words which some person has orﾠ might have spoken, andﾠ placed thus at the end of a speech it serves the purpose of inverted commas ( ityuktvā, having so said;
itikṛitvā, having so considered, having so decided)
It may often have reference merely to what is passing in the mind e.g.. bālo'pinâ̱vamantavyomanushyaitibhūmipaḥ, a king, though a child, is not to be despised, saying to one's self, « he is a mortal», (Gr. 928.)
In dram. ititathākaroti means « after these words he acts thus»
Sometimes iti is used to include under one head a number of separate objects aggregated together
(e.g.. ijyâ̱dhyayanadānānitapaḥsatyaṉkshamādamaḥ
alobhaitimārgo'yam,
« sacrificing, studying, liberality, penance, truth, patience, self-restraint, absence of desire»,
this course of conduct, etc.)
iti is sometimes followed by evam, iva, orﾠ a demonstrative pronoun pleonastically
(e.g.. tāmbrūyādbhavatî ̱tyevam, her he may call « lady», thus)
iti may form an adverbial compound with the name of an author
(e.g.. iti-pāṇini, thus according to Pāṇini)
It may alsoﾠ express the act of calling attention (lo! behold!)
It may have some other significations e.g.. something additional
(as in ityādi, et caetera),
order, arrangement specific orﾠ distinctive, andﾠ identity
It is used by native commentators after quoting a rule to express « according to such a rule»
(e.g.. anudāttaṅitaityātmanepadambhavati, according to the rule of Pāṇini I, 3, 12, the Ātmane-pada takes place)
kimiti = kim, wherefore, why? (In the Ṡatapatha-brāhmaṇa ti occurs for iti;
cf. Prākṛit. ti andﾠ tti.)
