It isn't clear to me whether distributive plural forms can be used with this verb. If so, they should be deiitʼaash, daahʼaash, daaʼaash, and dajiʼaash for imperfective mode, and dasiitʼáázh, dasooʼáázh, daazhʼáázh, and dajizhʼáázh for perfective mode.

They should, with the underlying meaning of "several pairs are going". References:
- YM1992 p. 36 : deíníit'ash, cursive, “(we are going) in 3+ pairs”,
- YM2000 p. 40 : "with stems that mark the subject as dual, da- describes an action in which a distributive plurality of couples or pairs are involved".
