Groundhog or woodchuck in Navajo is: dlǫ́ʼátsoh (related to the word for prairie dog with "big" added on to it) or: dilcha' (word for marmot, a groundhog is a type of one) Marks under vowels make them nasalized, a bit as if there was a "n".

What does the Spanish word Navajo mean?

The word Navajo does not come from Spanish. The Spanish learned it in the middle 1500s when they were asking Pueblo Tewa speakers names of the the different Apache related groups. They were told the Dine' were the "Apache of the wide or river bottom fields". "Navahu'u" is Tewa for "farm fields in a valley". Navajo is how the Spanish then spelled it. The Navajo language is related to other Apache languages about the same as Italian is to Spanish or Portuguese. The word Apache is thought to come from the Zuni language word for "enemy" or "stranger" Some other Apache groups were the Jicarilla ("little basket") and Mescalero ( mescal was a food staple) Apache.

What is the Navajo word for parting?

Even if I knew, I doubt there is a written word for it. Navajo had an unbeatable advantage as a code in WW2 because it was a spoken language only, and an illegal language until the US found a use for it. Suggest you try Navajo and "translation." Who knows? A written language was created for Cherokee, so maybe there are ones for other American native languages, or at least phonetic equivalents. Also, some words do not exist in some languages. For example, French has no word for "shallow." This made a problem when using Navajo as a military radio code, as some military terms did not exist in the Navajo language.
