yíghááh

== Navajo == === Etymology === y- (peg element) + -◌́- (ni-modal 3rd person subject prefix) + ∅- (classifier) + -ghááh (imperfective stem of root -YÁ, “to go, to walk — 1 actor”) ∅- (classifier) + -ʼaash (imperfective stem of root -ʼÁÁZH, “to go, to walk — 2 actors”) d- (classifier) + -kááh (imperfective stem of root -KAI, “to go, to walk — 3 actors”) === Verb === yíghááh he/she/it arrives (with bidááh) he/she/it meets him/her/it, goes to meet ==== Usage notes ==== Like all go-verbs, this verb uses three different verb bases for 1 subject going alone, 2 subjects going in a pair, and 3+ subjects going in a group. All three bases can be conjugated in all 3 numbers (singular, duoplural, distributive plural), with practical different meanings. See chʼéghááh, chʼéʼaash, chʼékááh for further details. When it's used with bidááh, it has the meaning of "have a meeting with someone", "to encounter someone", "to come together". For the meaning to "to come to know someone" or "to get acquainted with someone", see yééhoosįįh. ==== Conjugation ==== Paradigm: Momentaneous (ni/ni). ==== Related terms ==== dighááh
