Description:

The modifier 'rokíle' is generally used with verbs and means that the action of its reference happens after the time of its object, which can be an event as a nominative noun phrase, or a dependent clause.

Used by itself without an object, in a temporal context, rokíle can mean 'later'.

Rokíle is also a modifier of space meaning 'behind' - its reference is behind some object, which can be assumed, or can be explicit, in which case the object of rokíle is the point of reference.

Term:

The term form 'rokílen' means to retreat, withdraw or quit a task, or to resign from employment. It is an intransitive pali verb which takes an absolutive subject, the one who retreats or quits. The thing quit or retreated from cannot be indicated thematically but can be indicated using an prepositional phrase introduced by the preposition 'ro', away from. A benefactive noxaj form can be used, in which case a dative indirect object is added which is a location retreated to. As a noun, rokíle means an act of retreat.

The sense of 'resign a job' can be disambiguated with the expression 'se rokílen na leko', where the job portion is added as a periphrastic argument introduced by the null preposition.
