• In some dialects of colloquial Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, such as Urmian, the gerund ܐ݇ܙܵܠܵܐ (zālā), past, and imperative forms of this verb are not used; the corresponding forms of ܪܵܚܹܫ (rāḥēš) are used instead.
• In some dialects of Nineveh Plains, the forms ܣܓ݂ܝܼ (sḡī) and ܣܲܓܝܼ (sagī) are used for the imperative form instead, coming from the archaic verb ܣܵܓ݂ܹܐ (sāḡē, “to go”), which outside the imperative form is mostly attested in other Aramaic dialects and rarely in Classical Syriac.

• ܐܵܙܹܠ ܒܵܬ݂ܲܪ (āzēl bāṯar, “to go after, run after”)
