How do you say parents in Navajo?

The word for "one's parents" is: haschíinii.
The first i has a high tone mark and the second does not so this is a falling tone of a long e (as in me) sound.
In Navajo this sort of kinship word must be in the possessive to be grammatical.
Take away the "ha" and add shi/ni/bi/nihi/etc. to say my/your/his (or her)/our (their) parents'
My parents= shischíinii
His/her or it's parents-= bischíinii
