{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.
