Bilaganna is white man.
It is used like Gringo or Anglo (or "gaijin" in Japanese) to mean any non Navajo (Dine"). It is said that it comes from the Spanish- "americano". There are not many words that Navajo borrows from other languages. More commonly they make up a new one. For example: chidi = car for the sound chidi chidi of early model t's. So, I'm not so sure if that is true. Most words that are borrowed sound more like them. Example: beso from peso for money.
