[Isaac Fried <if AT math.bu.edu>]

Seems to me that the -TIY attachment is a contracted אתי ATIY, 

a variant of אני ANIY, 'I', preserved only in compounds. There is 

also an אכי AKIY, preserved in אנוכי ANOKIY. Corresponding to

אתה ATAH we have אכה AKAH, preserved as an attachment 

in שלך $EL-KAH, 'yours', for male. Corresponding to את AT we 

have אך AK preserved in שלך $EL-AK, 'yours', for female.
