1. It is my opinion that there is no such thing as "movement" in Hebrew.
No root and no verb describes anything dynamical, except as construed
by the imagination.

2. The uni-literal root Q is the essential part of קאה Q)H, a variant of
G and גאה G)H, 'extended, tall'. QOA קוע from Q, is 'nobleman', as is
$OA שוע from $ (see Ezekiel 23:23).

3. Now that Hebrew is sharply delineated and neatly categorized
PAGA$ is reserved for 'meet, have a דייט date'. A reminder as to the
possibly violent nature of PG$ is left us by the PAGO$, 'bumper, fender',
and the variant PAGAZ, 'artillery shell'. For a more violent encounter
we use now נגש NG$, which is to נגע NG) as PG$ is to פגע PG),
and the derived HIT-NAG$-UT, crash, clash'.

4. it appears to me that תקע/שקע TQ(/$Q( is +/-.

5. It appears to me that קעקע Q(Q( is קאה-קאה 'heap upon a heap',
as are the scars on a tattooed skin.

the biradical Q( has to do with a

yes, PG(.
