1. The word "Navajo" itself: This word refers to the people, language, and culture of the Diné Nation. It's a Spanish adaptation of the name the Diné call themselves, which is "Diné" meaning "The People."
2. A word in the Navajo language: If you're asking about the meaning of a specific word in the Navajo language, you need to provide the word itself. There is no one "literal meaning" of a word in Navajo, just as there is no one meaning for any word in any language. Meaning can be context-dependent and nuanced.
3. A word that is in the Navajo language but also used in English: There are some words that have been borrowed from the Navajo language and adopted into English, like "hogan" (a traditional Diné dwelling), "churro" (a type of pastry), or "navajo" (the fabric).
To get a helpful answer, you need to specify what you're asking about. Please clarify your question, for example:
* "What is the literal meaning of the word 'Navajo'?"
* "What does the Navajo word 'Diné' mean?"
* "What does the Navajo word 'hogan' mean?"
Once you clarify your question, I can give you a precise and accurate answer!
