轢く (ひく, hiku) — to run over — is a godan verb ending in く: ひいて (te-form), ひいた (past), ひかない (negative), ひきます (polite).

It is transitive: it takes a direct object. It is usually written in kana: ひく rather than 轢く. It also means to knock down.

Which one depends on the ending. The five are one line of the hiragana chart — same consonant, vowels あ・い・う・え・お — and everything before that kana never changes.
