- sam — prefix · together, with
Brings elements into unified action; works like Latin con-. Here it gathers the pulling force into one complete deed.

Analysis. sam + pari + kaḍḍh: sam- (together) and pari- (all around) intensify the root kaḍḍh (drag, pull), creating the sense of pulling in all directions simultaneously.
Etymology. The root kaḍḍh (to drag, pull, draw) is of uncertain origin; the prefix-pair sam- + pari- creates intensive force through their combination—sam- denoting gathering into one action, pari- denoting the circular completeness of that action.
