Subject: "Morphology"

English          Scots

go               gae
went             gaed/went
going            gaun/gaein

In Scots there are also forms which are sometimes thought of as more akin to
actual motion, especially walking:

English          Scots

go               gang
went             ganged
going            gangin

These are somewhat eroded in many modern dialects. In my dialect they'd be:

English          Scots

go               gaun
went             went
going            gaun
going to         gau'/gaun'ae

Pronunciations:

gae              /ge:/
gaed             /ge:d/
gaun             /gQ:n/
gang             /ga:N/
ganged           /ga:Nd/
gangin           /'ga:NIn/
gau'             /gQ:/
gau'nae          /'gQnI/

I gave the North Saxon forms of 'to go':

> Infinitive:  gaan
> Present indicative:  ik ga, du gayst, hey/sey/it~dat gayt, wy/jy/sey gaat
~ gaan
> Past indicative:  ik güng, du güngst, hey/sey/it~dat güng, wy/jy/sey
> güngen
> Past participle:  (gegaan >) gaan

Following Sandy's example above, here is the same phonetically represented:

SAMPA (http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/home.htm):
Infinitive:  gQ:n
Present indicative:  ?Ik gQ:, du: ga.Is(t), hEI/zEI/?It~dat ga.It,
   vi:/(d)ji:/zEI gQ:t ~ gQ:n
Past indicative:  ?Ik gY.N, du: gY.Ngs(t), hEI/zEI/?It~dat gY.N,
   vi:/(d)ji:/zEI gY.N:
Past participle:  gQ:n

IPA (http://www2.arts.gla.ac.uk/IPA/ipa.html):
Infinitive:  gɒːn
Present indicative:  ʔɪk gɒː, du: gaˑɪs(t), hɛɪ/zɛɪ/?It~dat gaˑɪt,
   viː/(d)jiː/zɛɪ gɒːt ~ gɒːn
Past indicative:  ʔɪk gʏˑŋ, du: gʏˑŋgs(t), hɛɪ/zɛɪ/ʔɪt~dat gʏˑŋ,
   viː/(d)jiː/zɛɪ gʏˑŋː
Past participle:  gɒːn
