Comment:
Ad Feature 59 "Alignment of case marking of pronouns": The 3SG intransitive subject (S) is a (cf. Example 141). Ad Features 4 "Order of adposition and noun phrase", 80 "Going to named places" and 84 "'Come' and 'go' serial verb": In the first clause, 'motion-to' is expressed by a serial verb construction: wakka 'travel (around)' expresses motion only (cf. Example 13), go 'go' specifies the direction 'to'. The general preposition na does not add to the semantics. In the second clause, go expresses motion and direction.
