Hmm.  Now that sounds like a nice companion text.  If it is anywhere near as
comprehensive as the lexicon, I would love to browse through it.  Maybe I'll
check to see if my auction source for the lexicon also has the grammar
available.

Just checked Amazon and found the following tempting titles by Young/Morgan

- The Navajo Language : A Grammar and Colloquial Dictionary by Robert W.
Young, William Sr. Morgan (Hardcover - December 1987) $48.00

- The Navajo Verb System : An Overview by Robert W. Young. Hardcover (March
2000) $45.00

I better stop looking or my wife will kill me.
