náshdóítsoh

It means literally "big wildcat" . tsoh means big or large.

It is associated with the blue or turquoise sacred mountain of the south, Mt Taylor (near Grants NM) in English, Tsoodził in Navajo.

The marks above the vowels are high tone marks. Where the low tone i follows the high tone o it is a falling tone.

nash-doh-ee-tso- is a rough approximation.
