Navajo

Verb

yikah

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

Usage notes

The stem used for going in a group of three or more people is different from the stem used for going individually or in pairs. For movement as individuals, see yigááł; for movement in pairs, see yiʼash. Non-plural forms of this verb, such as yishkah, are still possible, as they refer to one or two people's involvement in movement as a group.

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