"-NIID" meaning in Navajo

See -NIID in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Root

Etymology: From Proto-Athabaskan *ni (“to feel, to think, to want, to wish”). Relates to the mind. Cognate root found in Ahtna uniʼoʼolnii (“I am attracted to her”), Tanacross shiiníʼ (“my mind”). -NIID shares many stems with the roots -NÍÍD, -NIIʼ, -NÍÍʼ, -NIʼ, -NÍ, -NIH, -NIIH ~ -LĮH and -NEʼ, each of these being themselves a conflation of several originally distinct roots with at times overlapping meanings, which makes their actual identification often speculative.
