Etymology
si- (modal) + -Ø- (3rd person subject prefix) + -Ø- (classifier) + -téézh (neuter perfective stem of root -TÉÉZH, “to lie — 2 actors”).
Verb
shitéézh
- they (a pair of animate subjects) are lying somewhere, are reclining
Usage notes
This verb refers to a single pair. For multiple pairs, use the verb naazhtéézh.
The stem used for subjects in pairs is different from the stem used for subjects acting individually or in groups. For separate subjects, see sitį́; for a group of three or more subjects, see shijééʼ.
This is a neuter verb that uses only the perfective mode.
