Na'vi Names and a new word

[Patrice Maire]

Meanwhile, back on Pandora....

I was wondering if anyone could come up with a Na'vi translation for 'Rain Shadow' for a name. Toruk is 'Last Shadow' but it doesn't look like it's a word that could be separated. I know there should be a word for rain but don't remember if I found it or not.
Thanks!

From learnnavi:
rain == tompa
shadow == uk (so yes, apparently Toruk can be split)

Yes, pretty recently Frommer announced that the "ultimate, final" is tor, and "shadow" is uk, just as in Toruk.

To make a "rain-shadow" name...you could use something like...Tompauk (literal), tomuk is also possible, but it loses bit of it's root...
