Examples
a .
The work was double this week.
an .
He received triple pay.
e .
The town grew tenfold in a hundred years.
a .
A hundredfold thanks to you all.
i .
Please double the number.
-- multiplies. gives a, double; gives a; gives a, and the adverb e for tenfold. Stack -- on top and you get i, to double something, or with --, i, to double by itself.
It is the exact mirror of -on-, and the pair is the classic Esperanto slip: is half, a is twice, and in a hurried sentence about money the difference is a factor of four.
Keep it apart from -- as well. a is three times as much of something. e is three people doing a thing together. One counts the quantity, the other counts the company.
