Here are a few parts of the body that are easily recognizable. These terms aren’t always applied to humans or animals. For example, chidí bitsiits’iin is literally “the vehicle, its head” and it refers to the engine. These are in the third person:
- bíla’ - his hand
- bigaan - his arm
- bikee’ - his foot
- bijáád - his leg
- bijaa’ - his ear
- bik’os - his neck
- bigod - his knee
- bikétsíín - his ankle
- bitsiits’iin - his head
