identidem 'repeatedly' (PL+), itidem 'in the same way' (PL+), quidem 'certainly, surely' (PL+), pndem 'previously' (PL+), tandem 'really; at last' (P1-+), tantusdem 'just as much' (PL+), totidem 'just as many' (PL+) Pit. *-WJ. It cognates: see s.v* idem for the Sabellic cognates with *-o/w. PIE *im 'this'. Originally a suffix -em indicating emphasis or focus, as in aut-em, quid-em.
