Verbs of motion describe actions that involve a change in location — movement from one place to another. Common examples include:

• jaH – go
• ghoS – come, approach
• leng – roam (to a place), travel (to a place with or without a specific reason)
• ve' – travel (to a place with a specific reason)
• chegh – return

Note that vIH (“move, be in motion”) is not a verb of motion in this sense, as it describes being in motion but not changing location.

• lupDujHom vIchegh – I return to the shuttle.
• pa'Daq yIjaH – Go to the room!
• may'Daq jaHDI' SuvwI' juppu'Daj lonbe' – A warrior does not abandon his friend when he goes to battle.
• SIbI' bIghHa' yIghoS – Go to jail immediatly (SIbI' – immediatly, bIghHa' – jail)
• qul bIQtIqDaq ghoS – He travels along the river of fire (qul – fire, bIQtIq – river

The object of a motion verb refers to the place where the movement begins or ends. This location is sometimes marked with the suffix -Daq ("at, on, in, to") or -vo' ("from"), which might seem like a general locative. However, the verb prefix clarifies the meaning by and removes any ambiguity. Some examples:

• DujDaq pa'wIjDaq vIleng – I travel to my room on the ship (Duj – ship, pa' – room)
• DujDaq pa'wIjDaq jIleng – I roam around my room on the ship 

The first sentence would more commonly be said DujDaq pa'wIj vIleng, without the -Daq on pa'wIj.
