The Last Airbender – The Lost Adventures
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pronoun ''thee'') ...

Nayenezgani
Naayééʼ Neizghání () is a mythical hero from Navajo mythology who, along with his brother Tobadzischini, Tóbájízhchíní, rid the world of the Anaye, Naayééʼ. He is considered by some to be the Navajo god of war, although evidence for this is flimsy. Etymology Naayééʼ Neizghání is a Navajo language, Navajo word that can be translated to "Monster Slayer" or "Killer of Enemies". The name is a relative clause that may be analyzed as ''naa-yééʼ'' "enemy-dangerous" + ''neizghán'' "[he] kills several [of them]" + ''-í'' "person who..." It is cognate to the Mescalero-Chiricahua language, Chiricahua Apache name ''Naaghéé'neesghánéń'' for the analogous figure in Apache myth, who is often cowardly rather than heroic as for the Navajo. Mythology Birth Asdzą́ą́ Nádleehé, Changing Woman (sometimes The White-Painted Woman or The White Shell Woman) became pregnant with her children after basking in the Sun God's rays while bathing in a pool of water.
