So are there equivalents for any of this words?

well, we have the following (off the top of my head):

prrte' = pleasure (noun)
fpom = well-being, happiness, peace (noun)
steyki = anger (verb)

Don't think we have anything for sad or the like though.

I checked back through some of the older files on my computer for the Na'vi language, and we actually do not have a word for sad. Perhaps we could use a negation of fpom, like 'not happy'?

Well fpom is NFP.  Nitram would be happy in that sense...  But I doubt sad would be simple negation there, more likely a new root.

I believe "sad" is one of the words we asked for from Karyu Pawl so I imagine it will be forthcoming.

Well, that works too, any news on when Karyu will be giving us the new list?
