== Navajo == === Etymology === bi- (3rd person indirect object prefix) + -é- (“about”) + -ho- (“space, area, things”) + -ʼadi- (agentive passive object) + -l- (classifier, passive) + -zįįh (momentaenous imperfective stem of root -ZĮĮD, “to know”). === Verb === bééhoʼdilzįįh it becomes known, famous, renowned, a celebrity ==== Usage notes ==== This verb is only inflected in the third person; other persons are inflected through the use of indirect object/prepositional prefixes. For example, a first-person singular imperfective form *shééhoʼdilzįįh would literally mean something like 'it became known for me.' === References === Robert W.
