{yIt} in canon:

   pa' jIyIt'a'
   Can I walk there? CK

   poSDaq nIHDaq je QamtaHvIS SuvwI'pu', chaH jojDaq yItnIS lopwI'
   The initiate must pass through a gauntlet of warriors. S9

   tugh yIyIt
   [Walk faster! (untranslated)] ST6

   yIyIt!
   Walk! (KGT 117)

How is {yIt} any better?  I would think all verbs of motion have the same 
problem.
