Answer 2

As in most languages the groupings for kinship words are a little different. A daughter's husband in Navajo is haadaani­. Note, Navajo is a tonal language and this site no linger accepts the tone marks as font. The last i in this word should be high tone.
This is also is used for "sister's daughter's husband", "father's sister's daughter's husband", " father's sister's husband" and "mother's sister's husband"
Navajo kinship terms have to be in the possessive so this form is "someone's" or "one's" son in law". My, yours, theirs.. etc are all with different suffixes. My son in law is shaadaani­. This term is also used as a joke to refer to ones' father as "my male in-law". Because you belong to your mother's clan and stay with her if your father and her separate. Often her brother is more of a disciplining father type figure.
Another word that is used is : doo yish'i­inii or doish'iinii .
This means "son-in-law" (daughter's husband) if a female is speaking and "mother in law" if a male is speaking.
It literally means: " one that I do not see". This phrase is used because a son in law are supposed to traditionally avoid too much contact with his mother in law. Especially eye contact. In traditional culture husbands come and live with their wife at her mother's property. The land and house belong to the wife and her mother. To much contact with your mother in law is seen as a sort of incest. You can talk and work with her but she is taboo for you.
