eʼeʼáád

== Navajo == === Etymology === ʼa- (“away”) + -ʼa- (unspecified person object prefix) + ∅- (3rd person subject prefix) + -∅- (classifier) + -ʼáád (imperfective stem of root -ʼAH, “to propel a flat flexible object”), lit. “to toss (some paper) away” === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ʔɛ̀ʔɛ̀ʔɑ́ːt/ === Verb === eʼeʼáád he/she is casting a ballot, he/she is voting Iʼííʼah! ― I voted! Iʼdííʼał! ― Vote! ==== Usage notes ==== The unspecified flat flexible object refers to the ballot, or naaltsoos. When object is specified, one says: naaltsoos iiʼáád. In the plural, one can also use the verbs iʼiinííł or naaltsoos ayiinííł, seriative verbs from the root -NIL (“to propel plural objects”). ==== Conjugation ==== Paradigm: Momentaneous (∅/yi), with partial da-shift. ==== Related terms ==== yiʼáád (“to toss FFO”) iiʼáád (“to toss FFO away”) ==== See also ==== yinííł (“to toss PlO1”) iinííł (“to toss PlO1 away”) ayiinííł (“to toss PlO1 away seriatively”) iʼiinííł (“to toss unspec PlO1 away seriatively”)
