Maybe not the best rank, I'll admit. But having an 'Eywa Makto', and then an 'Eywa', without them being affiliated with each other...

...well...

Awkward rank is awkward.

If your building anything with a flow of people your going to want to focus on the weakest link, if someone who hasn't seen it much and doesn't know much can't understand it, it isn't their fault, its the people who built the site's assuming everyone knows something.
This IS an Avatar forum.

...just saying.

We already have ones like Taronyu which people who don't know much Na'vi might not know... if anything, it gets them to look it up, which is a good thing

I agree about having a translation next to it would spoil it a bit. If someone cares enough, then they'll take 20 seconds to look it up.

Doesn't taronyu mean "warrior" or something?

Oh yeah. Yeah...

Sometimes I get 'em confused. I remember certain lines; "warrior" just popped in my head.

Upon some further searching I found more potential ranks:

Frrtu (guest, visitor)
Sngä’iyu (beginner)
Hapxìtu (member)
Tsulfä Si (master)
Keltsun (impossible)
Rey’eng (the Balance of Life)


"Sngä’iyu" could be inserted as a lower rank at 35 posts (or bump down seeker to 35 and put this at 50).
"Hapxìtu" could fill for the 200 post count slot I mentioned earlier.
"Karyu" could be bumped down to 1,250 and "Tsulfä Si" put in place at 1,500.
"Lekye'ung" could be moved up to 8,000 and "Keltsun" could be inserted at 6,500.
Some posters here have expressed disapproval with "Eywa" as a final post rank. "Rey’eng" could substitute at 25,000 or could simply be inserted at 15,000 as a rank of its own.
This would increase the total to 26 (or 27 if you could find a place for "Frrtu").


Some of these seem more suited than others. Any thoughts on what should be included?

Keltsun and Rey'eng seem like they should be switched but being so high, it doesn't really matter much to me.

/thumbs up

Looks good except for Tsulfä si--not sure if it's meant to be like that, but it basically mean the act of mastering. Tsulfä=mastery si=do/make.

Maybe Tsulfätu would work better? I'm no expert, but that should mean someone who does mastery, therefore a "master", which I think is what is being aimed for....

Just a suggestion.

Quick look at learnnavi.org where I got these from:

tsulfä: [tsul."fæ] PF n. mastery
tsulfä si: [tsul."fæ si] PF vin. master
tsulfätu: [tsul."fæ.tu] PF n. master of an art, craft, or skill, expert

I'm not knowledge of Navi grammer so I don't know the exact nuances other than whats given here.

tsulfätu may be the correct term as it could mean expert/master also.

Yeah, I say use tsulfätu as I think we're trying to make it a title, not an action.

Putting the -tu or -yu suffix on a word makes it someone that does something (taronyu, tsamsiyu, numeyu etc).

cut out "insane" and I'm in.
It doesn't quite fit with the rest of the high ranking posts.
