Hi! This is my first post on this forum. I decided to register just to post this one image, which I grabbed from some making-of document. I do not know if it has been posted before, nor I do not know if this is really the appropriate forum for this, but here it goes anyway.

It shows a paper titled "Na'vi dialog for Jake", dated March 13 2007 and it contains several Na'vi lines with their English translations. The actors were rehearsing their lines. Some of the lines shown are in the movie, but some are not. For example, there is a reference to the (apparently) cut Uniltaron scene.



Now, the real treat might be the paper visible in the background; it is Zoe's, but that text is too small to be read. Or is it?  ;)

So, here it goes. Have fun!

Yep, we already have a thread discussing the text from Jake's lines but, to my knowledge, nobody has tried to pull out the other paper in the background. If I wasn't at work I'd love to tackle that.

Just based on the inspections so far, I am thinking that most think it is is the same text just a separate copy.  That image is a bit blurry but I am seeing some consistencies in lettering/symbolic shapes between the two.

yup I had a brief play in photoshop and it's definitely the same page as Jake's.  Pity, it would have really been like the discovery of the Na'vi Rosetta Stone to have Neytiri's dialog :)

Txo ayngal tse'a keyeyit, oeyä txoa livu.  I am learning Na'vi too!
If you see a mistake in my post please correct me!

Please help on the Movie Lines in Na'vi wiki page
