So, I liked the dictionaries we have right now, but I felt I wanted one with better formatting. I also found a few errors, and I just generally wanted to do something, so I made another one. The data I have is directly sourced, and most of it now comes directly from Frommer. Please, if you know of any words not present, errors, or have any suggestions, please please please post them here.

I have marked all pronunciation using the IPA, as Frommer has given it, including stress, syllable divisions, infix positions, and exceptions to general rules.

If you want to search the dictionary online without using the pdf, please go here. This is a wonderful, multilingual service set up by Tuiq.

There are several appendices:

• A) A chart of the Na'vi Numbers
• B) A Time Chart, for the days of the week and the times of the day
• C) Na'vi Loan Words
• D) Proper Nouns in Na'vi, including the flora and fauna of Pandora
• E) A List of Pandoran Flora and Fauna
• F) Useful Stock Phrases and Idioms
• G) A list of the Na'vi Alphabet
• H) Illegal words found in official sources.
• I) A list infixes and inflections, with examples
• J) A change log, listing what I've changed in each version.

This is the most complete dictionary we currently have which is downloadable: the other is in the Wiki. There will inevitably be errors. They are updated very frequently

[Eywa Murtag]

that's really awesome ^_^
Gonna help a lot of people, including me

[txum tukru]

good job! like it how its all in a couple of pages, saves printing

[MasterEro]

Very good, sir! This will be very helpful as we all epand our vocabularies.

Irayo, tsmukan! 

[Motxokxen]

irayo
 i shall save this and notify you of any errors.

[Nayumeie]

Just a thought, but shouldn't A and Ä be separate groups in the dictionary, being different sounds?
Same with I and Ì, and the ejectives.
Just wondering.

[Taronyu]

I've been debating that. I just realised that I had ts after tu. Pfft.

I'm not sure. They are the same in English, but perhaps, following Na'vi writing, we should. I aimed at making this easier for the english-reader, however.

[Nayumeie]

I see. Completely understandable.

Can we expect an English to Na'vi dictionary in the near future?

[Taronyu]

Yes, you can. If you want one. I assume that that statement means you do.

You can also expect a complete grammar of the language, so far. And I don't just mean copying wikipedia, although that is useful. I'm stuck in the wrong country until the 4th, and I got nothing but time.......

[Toruk Makto]

Yay! More reference material for my notebook!  Irayu!

[wm.annis]

The IPA for 'ì'awn has gone horribly astray.

The *kaw may be a reduction of ke 'aw.

IPA on kllfrivo' needs a final glottal stop (also, note spelling — verified from the Activist Survival Guide).

IPA for na'rìng got an extra syllable boundary marker.

Where is ma? 

sat is a lenited form of tsat.

Syllabification of utral should be ut.ral.

za'ärip should probably be syllabified za.'ä.rip

[Toruk Makto]

Taronyu, may I suggest you put your name somewhere in the dictionary document you made? I am putting a notebook together of every reference resource I find and want to make sure the proper credit is recorded.

[Taronyu]

wm.annis, Thank you so much! Will edit.

Txepyä Siyu - I will do. This was only the first draft, anyway.

[Na'rìghawnu]

Hello, Taronyu!

Thank you very much for your work. I just wanted to ask you a question about it: You (as well as Karyu Amawey in his "Pocket guide") are giving also IPA-transcription to the Na'vi-words. I would kindly ask you to tell me the source of this information, since the IPA-transcripts often indicate accents (stress), that are not given by the underlining-method used e. g. in the "Survival guide", from which the mere wordlist may come.

As for an example: the word "sìltsan" has no underlining in the "Survival Guide", but your dictionary (as well as the "Pocket-Guide") contains the IPA-transcript /sɪl.'ʦan/, indicating a stress on the second syllable. And there are many, many more examples like this one.

So I wanted to know, from what source the IPA-transcripts came, so that I may verify, that the stresses indicated in the IPA-transcripts are officially acknowledged.

Thank you very much for an enlightment.

Right. You've caught me. I don't know where the pocket guide got its information: so I copied right off the Pocket Guide. Thinking over it, I think I am going to leave the stress in, but hopefully remove it when I go over more documents ( I haven't finished yet) and hopefully when I've asked Frommer about it.

For now, it's safe to say that I attach the stress with a massive caveat.
