"łizhin" meaning in Navajo

See łizhin in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Etymology: łi- (adjectival) + -∅- (ni-modal 3rd person subject prefix) + -∅- (classifier) + -zhin (neuter imperfective stem of root -ZHĮ́Į́ʼ, “to be black”). The łi- prefix appears to have originated historically from the -ł- classifier. When this prefix appears immediately in pre-stem position, it takes the shape of a -l- classifier. Compare Dogrib dezǫ, Ahtna delzen (“dark colored”).
