Horacio Carochi / English: 

"The impersonal is Huīloa, Everyone goes. Mā huīloa in teōpan, Let them go to the church. Mōztla huīloaz, Everyone will go tomorrow. Ye ōhuīloac, The departure has already taken place. From this impersonal is formed a noun, huīloaliztli, which is the act of departing, of everyone going somewhere. [f. 40v]. (p. 163)

Lockhart’s Nahuatl as Written: 

"The verb yauh, 'to go,' is the most irregular of all [...and...] consists of ya and of a hui that has lost its last vowel. The plural of the present only has hui." Thus we have: niyauh, niauh (I go), tihauh, tiauh (you go), yauh (he, she or it goes), tihui (we go), anhui (you all go), and hui (they go). He adds "The impersonal is also from hui, huiloa." (p. 65)
