ĪC. with, by means of, thereby / con (M), con, hacia, por, en (S). This often fuses with IN to form INĪC with the same sense. It is abundantly attested across sources, especially in C where, in keeping with C's practice of not marking the noncontrastive and the obvious, the vowel is marked long only half the time. See ĪCA.
