ti

From Warder (pp.35-36), the indeclinable ti means "end quote" and stands at the end of any passage in direct speech. It is used also to mark something thought. Anything quoted, whether a line of verse or a single word, is marked in the same way.

This indeclinable sometimes appears in a fuller form: iti, which is emphatic and may generally be translated "this", "that", "thus". It may refer to a statement from a distance instead of marking the end of the actual words.

The two forms may be used together for emphasis.
