I believe Navajo is the preferred spelling, although your version is
sometimes found in English writings.
Either spelling is correct usage for Anglos. The Native Americans
themselves tend not to use either word amongst themselves. The word
derives from Tewa Navahú, the name referring to a large area of land and
to the people who lived on the land. Navajo is a Spanish word, coined as
part of the phrase Apaches de Navajo, which the 17th Century Spaniards
used to differentiate one Apache band and area from another.

....which indirectly explains the "J" in Navajo: It's sounded the way we
pronounce "H".


Hey! I saw some of that LC 45 stuff at a show a few months ago, but I
forgot what the "good price" you wanted was. I think this stuff was $15 a
box of 20. Does that sound about right?

That's the normal price for a box of 20 brand name hollow points. For
practice ammo, a hideous price is $18-$22 for 50 rounds.

Speaking of .45 LC, you would be really happy if you bought my S&W model
25-2. It's got a 4" barrel, and came with a spare 6" barrel that was never
installed. Includes original wood grips, but I removed them to install a set
of Hogue grips. Also, a lovely Bianchi Cyclone holster. $600 + whatever our
local dealers charge for doing all the stupid paperwork. Usually $20-$30.

It's a sweet gun, but I need something smaller. Probably one of the compact
Kahr pieces.
