Etymology

[edit]

łi- (adjectival) + -∅- (ni-modal 3rd person subject prefix) + -∅- (classifier)-tso (neuter imperfective stem of root -TSOII, “to be yellow”), with emphatic infix -x-.

The łi- prefix appears to have originated historically from the -ł- classifier. When this prefix appears immediately in pre-stem position, it takes the shape of a -l- classifier.

Verb

[edit]

łitsxo

  1. he/she/it is orange (color)
    Díí nidaashchʼąąʼígíí éí łitsxo.

Usage notes

[edit]

This is a neuter verb that only uses the imperfective stem.

Łitsxo is on the yellower side of orange, as compared to łichxííʼ on the redder side of orange.
