Come, Came (see also Coming)

the most frequent verb, denoting either "to come, or to go," signifies the act, in contrast with heko (see No. 22, below), which stresses the arrival, as, e.g., "I am come and am here," Joh 8:42, Heb 10:9. See BRING, B, Note (1), FALL, GO, GROW, LIGHT, PASS, RESORT.

*Compounds of this with prepositions are as follows (2 to 11):
