ftärpa, n., left side, (c.w. ftär/pa'o)
skiempa, n., right side, (c.w. skiem/pa'o)

This is an old addition from PF (last April) that got missed.

It should be with an /m/ in "right side," skiempa.

Thanks for warning us these interesting entries. However, they are not yet entered on dict-navi.com.

I think it's too late for editing this word, because skienpa is now an official Na'vi word. Just too bad! Although we can legalize -np- or make an exception. But it's Karyu Pawl who created that word.

The original email from Paul regarding ftärpa...


OK, regarding mìn and kìm:

Mìn is an intransitive verb meaning 'turn' or 'rotate.' So:

Mìn ne ftärpa.
'Turn to the left.'

Kunsìpìri txana tìmeyp lu tsyal a mìn.
'The gunship's main weakness is the rotor system.'

Kìm is a transitive verb meaning 'spin'--i.e. spin something:

Pol rumit kolìm.
'He spun the ball.'

As you see, kìm is roughly equivalent to the causative of mìn, meykìn: to spin something is to make the thing turn.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.



EDIT:  Correcting skiempa.   I need coffee.

No, Karyu Pawl blessed skiempa, and Markì has introduced a typo.

Email from Pawl —
Quote from: Karyu Pawl
Of course, mìn ne skiempa is well formed too. (Stress on the 1st syllable: SKI-em-pa.)

Ftärpa and skiempa should be in the dictionary. They aren't in my spreadsheet, so I'll add them there too.

For background...

This all came about because I've been tracking down canon examples for every word I can.  When I noticed the example with mìn in the community dictionary I got freaked out, because among other things, it had the word ftärpa which wasn't even in that dictionary. :)  So, I asked Pawl if it was dialog from the game, and if there were also a skiempa lurking somewhere.  He answered that it was from email to Markì in April, and then confirmed the utility of skiempa (as you see in the quote from the email above).  I then gently prodded Markì to post the info.
