"go/proceed", so does it mean to "walk" minus the means to travel, as
"went" in "I went home"? Or as in "it goes on and on"?
'Walk' is "timep". Neither "tisep" nor "timep" could normally be used in "it goes on and on", which would likely be a form of "continue" ("ye'unyab" - continue (on), remain ongoing).
In "I went home" either "tisep" or "timep" would work, but "timep" specifically means 'walk', so it would be inaccurate if you went home any way but on foot.
