-ʼĮĮD
Navajo
Etymology 1
The future and optative modes use expletive stems from the root -LAA.
Verb bases with thematized d-classifier are often re-analyzed as Ø-classifier stems (*d-ʼįįh = *Ø-tʼįįh), as evidenced by the perfective forms using Ø/ł-class subject prefixes rather than the d/l-class ones.
