"łichííʼ" meaning in Navajo

See łichííʼ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɬɪ̀t͡ʃʰíːʔ/
Etymology: łi- (adjectival) + -∅- (ni-modal 3rd person subject prefix) + -∅- (classifier) + -chííʼ (neuter imperfective stem of root -CHIIʼ, “to be red”). Compare Dogrib dekʼo, Ahtna ltʼeli. 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.
