Agreed. In context it's fine. And you can make a distinction:
*{qetHa'} stumble while running ("mis-run, mis-jog")
*{yItHa'} stumble while walking ("mis-walk")
Other verbs involving the legs and feet:
{gho'} "step on"
ghew vIgho'
I step on the bug. KGT
{mI'} "run in place" (also: "exercise, do calisthenics, do martial arts
movements, etc.")
