evaṁanatītoti

evaṁ anatītoti

compound phrase; not a single word, but a contracted or sandhi form possibly from evaṁ anatītoti or similar (noted as non-standard or textual variant)

1. thus not-past
2. thus not-transcended

Built from

• evaṁ — root · thus
  Demonstrative adverb meaning 'in this way; so'; used to introduce utterance or doctrine.
• a- — prefix · not, without
  Privative prefix; plain negation without the concrete imagery of spatial opposites.
• natīta — stem · not-past, not-transcended
  Compound of na (not) + tīta (past, transcended); tīta is the past participle of tarati 'crosses, overcomes'.
• -ti — ending · emphatic particle
  Enclitic particle serving emphasis or quotation marking in later Pali texts.

Analysis. evaṁ (thus, in this manner) + a- (not, without) + natīta (not-past, not-transcended) — resolves to evaṁ + anatīta + ti (emphatic or quoted particle)
