Verb

yijah

  1. he/she/it is running along (with at least two other people, as part of a group); they are running along

Usage notes

The stem used for running in a group of three or more subjects is different from the stem used for running individually or in pairs. For individual movement, see yilwoł. Singular forms with this verb, such as yishjah, are still possible, as they refer to one subject's involvement in movement as a group.

This is a progressive verb; it is conjugated only in the progressive mode.
