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.
