The "Set A" verb 'go about, walk around, to be at a place, to be somewhere'

Root verb -edo-

Note: This is the verb "go"ᎨᎦ, ᎡᎦwith the non-final suffix -idol- between the verb stem and the tense ending, which gives it the meaning of moving around randomly/aimlessly in a place. It can have the meaning pacing and is also used to indicate just "being somewhere". The "i" of the suffix melds with the "e" of the verb and the "l" and "g" turn into the "h" of the tense suffix for this verb. This non-final suffix is used with a lot of verbs for added meaning.
