Deer

[edit]

Does this word have something to do with deer? 71.66.97.228 02:16, 12 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it originally meant "deer’s horn". —Stephen (Talk) 23:04, 11 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

This information should be added to the entry. 71.66.97.228 05:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

That kind of information is called etymology. You have to wait until somebody writes an etymology. Right now, we are generally not doing etymologies, because Navajo is a spoken language and not well attested in written documents, so some or many entries might wind up being deleted. —Stephen (Talk) 19:36, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
