Description:

The term 'ujuk' refers to riding and vehicles in general. It is an Old Common word, and unlike other vehicular terms from Old Common, used to belong to the abstract gender.

Noun:

As a noun, 'ukuk' means a vehicle, or a ride in a vehicle - the English word 'ride' can be used similarly. The derived form 'ujukca' is a rider, and is very often used in the transportation sector to refer to a passenger.

Verb:

As a verb, 'ujuk' stands out as being quite different from the other verbs of transportation. Where the vehicle type verbs are noxaj verbs that focus on the going and clarify the means, 'ujuk' focuses on the riding, an action peformed by a passenger on a vehicle or animal. As such, it is a ditransitive happat verb that takes an ergative rider, an absolutive thing ridden, and a dative destination. A disintentive form might be used if the passenger is being taken somewhere without their intention or necessarily their knowledge.
