asdzoh
Navajo
Etymology
ʼa- (unspecified person object prefix) + -Ø- (3rd person subject prefix) + -s- (stative perfective marker) + -d- (classifier) + zoh (perfective verb stem), from -zóóh (“make a mark, draw a line”)
The noun sense is a direct nominalization of the verb, and likely derives from the way that inches would be marked out, either on a ruler or on the item being measured.
Synonyms
- ashtʼish
- dah alzhin
