      Ĝis tiu tempo, t. e. en la daŭro de la unuaj 5 jaroj, en la lingvo laŭ mia opinio nenio devus esti ŝanĝata kaj la tuta laborado de la amikoj devus havi la celon nur fortigi kaj vastigi nian aferon.
      Until that time, i. e. in the duration of the first 5 years, according to my opinion, nothing in the language should be changed and the entire work by the friends should have the goal only to strengthen and spread our affair.

Etymology

Probably denominal, perhaps from a root noun *kēls (“hiding-place”),[1] ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱel-. The older and more straightforward formation *kelō is found in occulō.

Related to clam. Cognate with Old Irish ceilid (“to hide”) and Proto-Germanic *helaną, *huljaną.

1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
2The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.
3At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
