N:
We see in Warder Ch 26, teviisati, 23. Thus, it is te-, in this compound.
tii.ni can also be used together with a noun, as a compound, and then we
should recognize it: as: ti-, thus, tividha: threefold, tiyojana, three
leagues, tipi.taka, etc. In this Ch we see: timattaani (-matta, being
measure): timattaani paribbaajakasataani: 300 wanderers.
