The marks over vowels are high tone not stress or accent. The mark above and after is a glottal stop. The ee is like in "met" but held longer because it is double not like "we". The i is like in "bee". The zh is like in pleasure.

mágí

The marks above the vowels make them high tone. I think it is a English loan word which is unusual for Dine' bizaad ( Navajo).

Other primates in Dine' bizaad are usually modifications of mágí. Like mágítso = gorilla (literally- "large monkey")
