" bi" means it's or his or theirs . kéyah means country or land but this sort of noun in Navajo must always be part of a possessive, it must belong to something in the grammar, so you can't say it on it's own. The little marks that are above some of the vowels mean it is high tone. Navajo has tones like chinese. Sort of sing it a little higher and put a little more emphasis on it. The L with a line through it is hard for English speakers. Welsh has a similar sound. It is like a "L" but you use no voice but breathe through and around the "L" tongue position like you would with a "th" sound.
