yikááh
yikááh
See also: yikaah
Navajo
Verb
yikááh
- he/she is going (with at least two other people, as part of a group)
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 yighááh; for movement in pairs, see yiʼaash. Non-plural forms of this verb, such as yishkááh, are still possible, as they refer to one or two people's involvement in movement as a group.
