ุฝิเ poodu `malicious intent'.

For dialects where ุฝิเ poodu is not just a variant of ยีเ (v)idu `completive', we place it here among the primarily attitudinal aspect markers. Note that phonologically, ุฝิฅเ poottu the AVP form, is often reduced to ไฅเ puttu or คเ ptu as in ยีฅเคเ vittuptu `having definitely (mischievously) left' and ถิคฝีฅเคไฅเ saappittuptu `having eaten'.
