aniiʼ -- someones face

shiniiʼ - my face

niniiʼ -- your face

biniiʼ-- his/her/it's face

And so on..... to plural and dual plural.

In Navajo this is a type of word that must be in the possessive. It has to belong to something or someone. If not it is ungrammatical.

The mark at the end it a glottal stop which is a consonant we only use in the phrase uh oh between the two parts. Navajo is a tonal language and this word is low tone, don't make one part higher or with more stress. The double vowel means the e sound at the end is drawn out longer.
