Just looking at the stuff on Wiki about Navajo verbs gives me the willies!
Funny you mention Navajo and Basque in the same post, there is a controversial hypothesis that puts both languages in a very ancient linguistic superfamily called Dene-Caucasian that puts them with the Sino-Tibetan languages (like Chinese) and the North Caucasian languages (like Abkhazian and Chechen).
