(with chʼééh) (imperf.) he/she is getting tired; (perf.) he/she is tired. (with bikʼi) he/she quits it, gives it up, discontinues it ==== Usage notes ==== Like all go-verbs, this verb uses three different roots for 1 subject going alone, 2 subjects going in a pair, and 3+ subjects going in a group. All three roots can be conjugated in all 3 numbers (singular, duoplural, distributive plural), with practical different meanings. See chʼéghááh, chʼéʼaash, chʼékááh for further details. ==== Conjugation ==== Paradigm: Momentaneous (∅/si), with some irregularities. ==== Derived terms ==== ił náhodighááh
