Verb?

[edit]

I don’t think this is a verb. As far as I know, it means, literally, "behind him", and by extension, "his tracks/trail". Just an ordinary postposition, unless you have a source that actually considers it to be a verb. —Stephen (Talk) 17:00, 9 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

It looked weird to me too, but Young, Morgan, and Midgette's Analytical Lexicon list it (p. 319), with an example sentence "Shitélii tábąąhgóó bikééʼ". Also, it's at least etymologically pretty much the same as nabikééʼ, although of course that doesn't always translate to actual usage. Ewweisser (talk) 19:58, 9 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
