Pa'al conjugation, roots starting with נ: לִנְסֹעַ — to travel, to go (by vehicle)
Roots starting with נ: לִנְסֹעַ, לִפֹּל, לָתֵת, לָקַחַת
The first root letter נ drops in the future and imperative, and the next letter gets a dagesh: יִסַּע, סַע. Past and present are regular. Also: לִפֹּל (to fall) → יִפֹּל, לִנְגֹּעַ (to touch) → יִגַּע, לִנְשֹׁךְ (to bite) → יִשֹּׁךְ. The verbs לָתֵת (to give) and לָקַחַת (to take) behave the same way — see the special verbs.
