kélchí

kehl chih

The Navajo word kélchí refers to the moccasin in English.

Part of this word, ké, is the Navajo word for shoes in general, or things that are worn to protect the feet.

When you use the word for shoe to say “my shoes” the word becomes shikee’ (“your shoes” – nikee’; “his shoes” – bikee’).
