Is there a word for the verb form of land?

[Unilsrewtu]

All I can find is the noun "atxkxe."

[Muzer]

As in, to land on the ground, you mean?

It's more of a coincidence than anything that the two words are the same in English, as they mean very different things. I would say something like 'ampi kllteti "to touch the ground", or possibly use pate "to get to a place" instead of 'ampi, I suppose depending on how far you are travelling (a person vs a space ship or aeroplane for example). This is just me, and I'm still not all too experienced - there could be a word for land as a verb, I just can't remember what it's under in the dictionary if there is

There isn't such a verb yet.  We asked for it in the LEP.

Yeah that's what I meant. Thanks

Wouldn't ne kllte (get down,  lit. to the ground) also be valid here, because if someone was flying in English you would tell to land, but could say go to the ground and be understood.
The only problem I could see with this is the possible negative connotations around the way that seems to almost be imperative.

As you say, ne kllte is an imperative interjection, it might work if you work at ITC, but other than that I'd use pate/pähem (we need a clarification on the difference before we can say which though).

(Deserves its own quote)

Where is pähem from? I can't seem to find any official examples in the wiki corpus/movie transcripts etc.
pate is listed in the movie transcript

Why use them rather than ne-X when you consider the use of ne to provide directions?

[Muzer]

Ah - pähem is in the dictionary and apparently means "arrive". If I was just basing it off the definitions alone, I would hazard a guess that "pähem" is intransitive and "pate" is transitive - but that's just based off the translations and guesswork - I'd really need to see the source of both of them to tell for sure.

The line where Neytiri used pìyate was originally Jake's line using pìyähem.

[Muzer]

Ah, so it was an error that got made official. Makes sense.

[omängum fra'uti]

Possibly, or it is just a synonym, it could go either way.
