Kila
That One Close By, Now, Soon, By And By,
(PN ADV)
Third person singular pronoun and deictic implying moderate proximity in time or place; also used adverbially 'now', 'soon' 'by and by'. The form [gillaun] 'by and by' quoted by Stone is a derivative of this word.
(Ed. a 'deictic' is a pronoun or noun that is used to indicate a connection between person or thing and a time or place or situation. In this case 'kila' is some one or thing 'close by' or 'now' or 'soon' that is connected to a 'time or place or action' in the same sentence.)
