The "Set A" verb 'return, go back'.
Root verb -ɂluh-
with Iterative "again" prefixes
Note: The verb "return, go back (to where you
started)" is formed by adding an "Iterative" or "Repetative" prefix
before the bound pronouns of the verb "arrive". On most verbs, this
prefix means to repeat the action of the verb or to do it again.
However, when added to the verb "arrive", the Iterative Prefix adds
a more specific change to the meaning, essentially "to arrive again
to a starting point" or "to return, go back".
You will see below that there are three different forms to this
prefix. All of these are spoken with a High tone (sometimes
indicated by a superscript 3 - "³") and when used before another
vowel, they are separated by a "glottal stop" indicated by the "ɂ"
marker.
For a more thorough explanation about the three forms that Iterative
prefix can take and how they are used, please read:Grammar

Imperative/Immediate
Note: The Imperative equivalent of the "i-" repetative prefix is "tsi-" before consonants. Before vowels it can appear as either "ts-" or "tsiɂ-". It will precede the directional prefixes "da-, d-" (towards speaker or subject) and "wi-, w-" (away from speaker or subject). When used with "wi-, w-" the two combine to become "tsu-". ᏧᎯᎷᎩ!
