I understood bee = she / he / it and bił = with her/ him / it
bił (with her) + yá‘át‘ééh (is good): (it) is good with her -> she likes it

actually
bí -> he, her, it is
bee -> with/by means of him, her, it
bił -> with him, her/in his, her company

Waiting for a native or for a person who really has deep knowledge to shed some light, I'd like to point out two things:
First of all I hope you know that the letter in bił is not the letter T but the Navajo letter Ł
Bił is the contraction of bi + ił which (from what I've read) mainly means with but in the sense of in the company of (not by means of which is the meaning of ee) But then again, I guess like any pre-/postposition in any language it can change the meaning depending on which verb it goes with (ha-ha).
