I'm not really a big fan of the 'rr' trills to be honest, I love the way the Na'vi pronounce singular 'r's though, very slightly trilled... makes me love Neytiri even more!
'Ivong Na'vi!

Well zera'u is "coming-thing", Not quite. za'u + imperfective infix ‹er› = z‹er›a'u. "Light" is atan. There's an adposition in there. |

Yep, the original line of the song was "born from the light." I had to work around the "born" part.

One of my favorite Na'vi words has to be tsamsiyu. But almost any Na'vi word is my fave.

You could use soli atanta = Made from light |

That would work too. I try and phrase every sentence in Na'vi in the active voice, so I translate samsiyu a ngolop atanta as warriors who create from light "something" (which has not been stated). This isn't actually true, it's just how I perceive it, that's why I went with zera'u.
