   D. gaan, G. gehn, gehen, OHG. g[=e]n, g[=a]n, SW. g[*a], Dan.
   gaae; cf. Gr. kicha`nai to reach, overtake, Skr. h[=a] to go,
   AS. gangan, and E. gang. The past tense in AS., eode, is from
   the root i to go, as is also Goth. iddja went. [root]47a. Cf.

                                                  Sidney.

         infinitive, to express a future of intention, or to
