It looks pretty correct to me! But I'm not a fluent writer/speaker of Na'vi, so I might be missing something.

Yes, your sentence makes perfect sense, I think. They have dangerous warriors, right? Only one thing, you don't use a- in case there is already the le- prefix in front of the word. So: Ayforu lu samsiyu lehrrap OR Ayforu lu lehrrapa samsiyu

Tewti! Perhaps one day I will be using compound infixes and making long sentences with multiple clauses...

Of course you will!

Even the compund infixes have their own, simple system.

And actually, in normal simple chat in na'vi you usually don't even have a need for very complex stuff, because the principle "keep it simple for the other person to understand" and lack of knowlege (or vocabulary) usually won't allow very difficult sentences to be created. I almost never use the infixes <aly> ,<ary>,<alm>, <arv>, <ilv> and stuff...
