1. Dictionary of Na'vi Words

Being a story that takes place on Pandora, it's particularly necessary to utilize words from the Na'vi language. I have been studying the language since March of 2012, and here I've included a list of words that are used in the story. If you feel it may be easier to get a basic understanding of the language (which it will), then I highly recommend you go to the website Learn Na'vi. I will not included grammar or much morphology in this list, so there are words that come up that aren't fully explained here (for example, in Chapter 1 I use "leiu", which is the verb "lu" (to be) with the infix ei, giving it a positive mood).

This page will get updated as the story progresses to include more words, so check back every now and then.

DICTIONARY:

"skxawng" — moron

"nga" — you

"oe" — I

"unil" — dream

"lu" — to be

"eyktan" — leader
