Thank you for sharing ,, The thing I find most interesting about the Na'vi language is its "structure " and presentation of thought ,, Na'vi is by example a Very internal expressive, heartfelt language, and is very "we" ethos orientated as well as strongly reflects this through its methods of "lingual expression" if one takes a look at the "expression structure for instance real world "Tsalagi" (Cherokee) language there originally was no word for "lie or lying" in its lingual struture
Na'vi reflects this ,, the core recognition of ones kin "seen" at a spiritual level as ones "brothers and sisters" is there as well,, its probably off topic to reflect too deeply on real world native languages here but one might find the Iroquoi word "Orenda" and its core meaning in a persons expression structure quite "interesting" it speaks of a "place" of expression not present in our root languages
