Best Answer

ahéheeʼ is the Navajo word for "thank you". The root stem is one for gratitude. About 175,000 people speak Navajo and this is the most common way to say it.

The mark above the e is high tone. The mark at the end is a glottal stop consonant. e and ee are said like in "met" but the double e is held longer. The first h is much harsher than in English , almost like a Spanish J.

The mark above vowels mean high tone. The mark below means nasalized like there is a n sound. The t' is a glottalized t and is different than normal t. The ' on it's on is like English uh'oh-- a glottal stop.
