Navajo
Etymology
From a combination of several Proto-Athabaskan prefixes:
nv ath-pro *-(y)iˑ non-human noun suffix
nv ath-pro *-eˑ suffix forming kinship terms
nv ath-pro *-(h)eˑ a negative suffix2005 Athabaskan Prosody Sharon Hargus Keren Rice 290-91 9789027247834 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam
Pronunciation
nv /-ɪ́/ [-í]
Suffix
nv suffix
nominalizer the one that, the one who
Usage notes
Similar to the -er suffix in English, the -í suffix attached to a verb means "the one who does [verb]". Thus nv naaʼnaʼ he/she/it crawls about + -í ("-er") produces naaʼnaʼí ("the one that crawls, crawler"). Prefixing this with nv chidí car produces nv chidí naaʼnaʼí caterpillar tractor.
When applied to words ending in a vowel, an epenthetic /h/ is sometimes added before the suffix, as in nv giníłbáhí western goshawk.
