Pawl Frommer'S Thoughts About Na'Vigation + Two New Words

Posted by tekre on 8/10/2024

I don't really know where to put it, but since it kinda includes two new words I guess I just put it here (yes ma Wllìm, I will put the part about the new words in the language update forum too in a minute <:derp:841785864136556597>)

<@&715044889049563147>, specifically <@667402295918592030> will love this

Kaltxì nìmun, ma Tekre.

I just watched all of the community interviews and also a tiny bit of some of the workshops. I was absolutely delighted with what I saw! People are doing such creative things with Na'vi, some of which I had no idea about. And these ayhapxìtu lì'fyaolo'ä are themselves extremely impressive! I was blown away by the level of linguistic sophistication—​and also, I should say, by everyone's level of English when it wasn't their native language. Wou!

Lì'fyari leNa'vi ayngeyä ​tìyawn oeru teya si.

BTW, as someone of a certain age who has never actually played a modern video game, I was unfamiliar with the concept of modding! You've taught me something. Irayo!

Also, I like yatxìmä! The verb would simply be yatxìmä si. If there are no objections, I'll publish that on my blog. I'm not sure we have evidence that the Na'vi fart? In any event, they would doubtless have encountered that phenomenon among the Sawtute and would have come up with a term for it. 😊

Hayalovay,

I shortly after received another email with an addition:

Thinking further about the new vocabulary item, I'll probably change it to txìmya, to be more in keeping with other such compounds in Na'vi. Just FYI. 😊
