Quoted speech particle marking the end of direct discourse or assertion. Cognate with Sanskrit iti; the root sense is 'goes' (marks where speech goes/ends).
Analysis. karissāmi 'I will do' + iti 'thus, so' — a quoted utterance or assertion of intention: 'I will do (thus)', expressing a vow or determination.
Etymology. From √kar- (to do, make); cognate with Latin creare 'create', Greek kraino 'accomplish', English craft. The future-stem kariss- is built regularly from the root with the suffix -iss-, which marks futurity across Indo-European (compare Latin -iss- in future formations).
