-ʼĮĮD

Navajo

Etymology 1

The future and optative modes use expletive stems from the root -YAA.

Verb bases with thematized d-classifier are often re-analyzed as ∅-classifier stems (*d-ʼįįh = *∅-tʼįįh), as evidenced by the perfective forms using ∅/ł-class subject prefixes rather than the d/l-class ones.
