How do you say nobly born in Navajo?

Answer 1

There were not classes or aristocracy in Navajo tradition or history so there is not really exactly the concept of "noble birth".

You could say "born for a leader" (a leader was his father):

naatʼáanii báshíshchíín -- I am born for or child of a leader.

naatʼáanii bájíshchíní-- one who is born for a leader

naatʼáanii yáshchíín -- he/she is born for...

Or maybe "born for hózhǫ́" might be a concept that would be sort of analogous. :

hózhǫ́ báshíshchíín -- I am born for (child of, my father is) peace and beauty and harmony

hózhǫ́ bájíshchíní -- one who is born for (child of)

hózhǫ́ yáshchíín -- he/she is born for

Hózhǫ́ is an imprtant concept in Navajo culture, maybe the central one. It means a state and process of beauty and harmony, peace, balance, happiness and contentment, wholeness, goodness, health and dynamic symmetry.

One might say is holds a similar place in Navajo culture that nobility did in old European culture.
