Usage notes

Similar to the -er suffix in English, the -í suffix attached to a verb means "that which does [verb]".

Thus naaʼnaʼ (“he/she/it crawls about”) + -í ("-er") produces naa´na´í ("that which crawls, crawler"). Prefixing this with chidí (“car”) produces chidí naaʼnaʼí (“caterpillar tractor”).
