<br>
TKD 42: &nbsp;This word implies that data are in the process of being transmitted, but that there is a finite amount of data, so there will be a definite end to the transmission. The fact that the verb {lI'} and the suffix {-lI'} are identical in sound is purely
 coincidental, so far as can be determined.<br>
