KGT 117:  When {taD} is used in the idiomatic sense of "not move", however, it is treated as if a verb describing an activity, such as {yIt} (walk): {yIyIt!} ("Walk!").

HQ 12.2 p.7:  the top of a cane [{naQ}] (whether one used ceremonially or one that is simply a walking aid) is the {chaS}.


Similar words:

gho' 		step on (v)
qet 		run (v)
