Usage notes

• klama does not distinguish between coming and going.
• When translating to English, choose between the two ("coming" or "going") based on the position of the destination relative to the speaker's position.
  • If the destination is away from the speaker, choose a form of "go"
  • If the destination is near the speaker, choose a form of "come"
