Provides a summary description of the Navajo language and a detailed treatment of the inflectional morphology of its verb system.

Meet Oz . . . he's got a talent for trouble but his heart's always in the right place (well, nearly always). Uprooted from his friends and former life, Oz finds himself stranded in the sleepy village of Slowleigh. When a joke backfires on the first day at his new school, Oz attracts the attention of Isobel Skinner, the school psycho - but that's just the beginning. After causing an accident that puts his mum in hospital, Oz isn't exactly popular at home either. His older sister's nohelp, but then she's got a problem of her own . . . one that's growing bigger by the day. Oz knows he's got to put things right, but life isn't that simple, especially when the only people still talking to you are a hobbit-obsessed kid and a voice in your own head! Packed with action, heart and humour, Waiting for Gonzo takes you for a white-knuckle ride on the Wheel of Destiny as it careers out of control down the Hillside of Inevitability. The question is, do you go down laughing? Or grit your teeth and jump off?

Navajo/English Dictionary of Verbs lists 350 Navajo verbs in paradigm form, conjugated for the Imperfective, Perfective, and Future modes.

Tsoodzil, which is Book 2 in the Fun With Navajo Verbs series from Access Navajo, provides another 125 useful verbs carefully selected for their usefulness in daily life and their relevance to Navajo culture. As in Book 1, each verb is conjugated in up to seven modes. At least two sample sentences written by a knowledgeable native speaker are given for each verb, as well as a conjugation combination, full stem set, breakdown of classifier, inner and outer prefixes and objects, and more. Content themes include reflexive verbs (such as na'�dinitin: to teach oneself), verbs relating to getting around by various forms of transportation (horse, motor vehicle, boat, airplane), and a number of abstract verbs relating to mental processes (to pretend to be, to turn oneself into, to change one's mind, to have in mind), to name just a few. A full set of handling verbs expressing the idea of saving various items has also been provided. There is a special section on the inherent patterns of Navajo verb stem sets. Three simple patterns and a few simple rules make it possible to organize a typical set of five verb stems and master the whole set in one fell swoop, instead of having to learn each stem one by one. Enhance your ability to conjugate Navajo verbs by learning complete stem sets -- why crawl along when you can run! As with Book 1, there is also a software game that can be downloaded from the AccessNavajo.com website at no charge (requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE(TM)) which can be downloaded from Oracle(TM) free of charge).
