This verb is in present tense and means ‘running away,’ and all its translations in the past tense such ‘ran away (dreadfully),’ ‘fled in panic,’ ‘climbed (the hill),’ ‘went away far,’ ‘were climbing up the high ground,’ ‘were climbing up the high ground in such a panic that,’ and ‘were going hard and far (in pursuit of the enemy in the Battle of Uhud)’ are inaccurate)
