# naaztį́
## Navajo
### Etymology

na- (atelic, circuital) + -z- (si-perfective 3rd person subject prefix) + -∅- (classifier) + -tį́ (neuter perfective stem of root -TĮ́, “to handle an animate object”).

### Verb

naaztį́
* they (animate things) separately lie around

#### Usage notes

This verb refers to multiple subjects. For a single subject, use the verb sitį́.
The stem used for subjects acting separately is different from the stem used for subjects lying in pairs or in groups. For two subjects together, see naazhtéézh; for three or more subjects together, see naazhjééʼ.
This is a neuter verb that uses only the perfective mode.
