łį́į́ʼ (f poss -lį́į́ʼ)

  1. cavallo
  2. animale domestico

Inizialmente indicava un animale domestico, probabilmente il cane, ma ben presto acquistò il significato di cavallo, in quanto visto dal popolo navajo come l'animale domestico per antonomasia a seguito della reintroduzione del cavallo in Nord America. Cane passò ad essere identificato con il sostantivo łééchąąʼí ("l'animale che vive in mezzo ai suoi escrementi").
