Usage notes

This verb is not used in colloquial Tehrani speech, where the compound verb فرار کردن ‎(farâr kardan) is used instead. Some other dialects, such as Shirazi (where گوروختن ‎(guruxtan, gǔruxtan) is used by some speakers), use the verb or other forms of it but mostly in the past and perfect tenses.
