What I meant was the difference in the words. I don't see 'lėng' in the phrase for Floating Mountains 'ayRam aLusėng' so it's a grammatical difference that didn't make sense to me. Or is it lenition? Still trying to understand the language structure.

it is in the phrase: ay-ram a-l<us>ėng. now the word a-l<us>ėng is "lėng", only that it has been made an active (technically you could also say "Lusėnga ayRam") |
aha...okay..thank you for clarifying that. Sort of. I was never good at building grammar lessons. But I figured it was something like that and was just missing it.
Oh, and I got some of the lines from the I See You song translated..still working on it. |
And as a sidenote...I would like to ask people, if I should, or shouldn't include new words here any longer? I mean...How many people are actually interested in this at this point? |
Dear....Eywa..:shock::shock:
Last time I checked out a Na'vi vocabulary/dictionary, there was only like 500 words. Most of these I don't even recognize.-.- This is going to need my full attention from now on. :facepalm: But it's going to take so long to catch up.:'( Oh well, I guess I can begin it now. P.S. I am, Kalakuival |
Man, how I wish I had time to really learn this in a structured manner.
Personally, I'm waiting for a word for "storm", "thunder" or "lightning". A username change might follow if this occurs............ |
There are lots of words I'd like to see:
Names for Polyphemus and the other moons of Polyphemus and the two other stars in the Alpha Centauri system Tree based words (bark, gall) Cardinal directions of some kind Clothing (they wear loincloths but as yet we have no word for them) Hole, valley (we have a word for well but not for hole!) Spring (if they have a word for wells they should have a word for springs) Earthy words - clay, sand, loam, humus, forest litter etc Volcano (lots of volcanoes on Pandora) to rot, to decay (must have a word for this) to climb (I will (what?) Iknimaya) to swim (Jake had to (what?) to get out of the river) to swing (Neytiri decided to (what?) from the branch) more body words -internal organs, scars, muscles etc Hammock (where do I sleep?) Flute (the blue (what?) clan) |

If you feel up to it, you can try to create Na'vi words for some of the above, and submit them once the committee goes live. |
Ok so yeah. We actually have MANY more words since this thread was last updated. You can find ALL new words Frommer's blog which is http://naviteri.org as they are released. I cant believe this link was not published here yet. (Or did I miss it?) A lot of you may be interested to go get a new copy of the dictionary and see that many of the words you were looking for are in there now.
