I would do what Tsu'tey did in the mountains, touch my head (or whatever the f*** he did), kinda like being blessed.

What's really strange is how I've been doing that gesture as a salute to anything I respect ever since I was about 15. When Avatar came out 4 years later I thought, "Damn! They stole my move!"

However yes... the phrase actually sounds Japanese when you think about it.

I 2nd this.. You are right, the motion he did is Oel Ngati Kameie in sign language for the Na'vi.
