ashkii yázhí
The marks over the vowels in the second word ( which means small or little) mean it is said with a high tone. Vowels without are low tone.
Often it changes the meaning of the word if you change them. Example; hai = winter , háí= who.
When vowels are doubled it means you hold the sound longer.
You sort of say this aash-kee ya-zhi. The second word higher.
The zh sound is like in the middle of pleasure.

โ 9y agoawééʼ is someone's baby
Newborn is: awééchí'í
Last born or "baby of the family" is: lók'eeshchąą'í
my baby is: sheʼawééʼ
your baby: ne'wééʼ
her/his/it's baby:beʼawééʼ
your baby: nihe'awééʼ
Words like baby, son, mother, brother, arm, head, etc can only occur in the possessive in Navajo never independently.
The mark over some vowels make them high tone. The mark above and between or at the end is a glottal stop like in uh'oh. The k' is different than just k, it is a glottalized consonant and you say it sort of holding your breath in your throat.
