In Navajo "brother' is a type of word that must be in the possessive. The closest you can come to "brother" is ánaaí- someone's older brother or atsilí- someone's younger brother. Brother without younger or older does not exist.
The term "my friend" (shik'is) is used between brothers. Shilah is used between sibling of opposite sexes.
The marks above vowels are high tone marks. The i is a pretty short sound. Two a's make the vowel longer and the i after an a makes it sound like english "I".
The ts sounds like the sound in english "it's". The mark after the k' makes it a glottalized consonant which is like saying k and holding your breath.
Depends on gender of the speaker and the birth order. Ciye means older brother of a man. Tiblo is an older brother of a woman. Misu is younger brother for either.
You say either shinaai (for older brother) or shitsili (for younger brother).
