"łį́į́ʼ" meaning in Navajo

See łį́į́ʼ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɬĩ́ːʔ/
Etymology: Of the extant senses, “pet” is oldest; the original meaning, retained in Athabaskan cognates, was “dog”. Upon the reintroduction of the horse to North America, the Navajo language transferred the usage of łį́į́ʼ to the horse (which became the new favored "pet" in Navajo culture), with the dog being referred to by a derived term, łééchąąʼí (literally “shit pet”), i.e. pet which eats excrement. Compare Dogrib tłı̨ (“dog”).
