sa'atenuk?

[Ni-Alu]

I've been looking up and down the dictionaries (the latest versions) and I can't find what sa'atenuk means. It's referenced in Sa'nok, but I can't actually FIND the word.... Could it mean grandmother? Is there such a word in Na'vi yet?

Irayo.

I think it's just a more formal way of saying it...

Ok, found it. It's in the 2007 Avatar Screenplay, one of Grace's lines.

I think it's Cameron's original word for Mother, and Frommer changed it to sa'nok. From the 2007 script:

Spoiler

GRACE
A scientist stays objective -- we can not
be ruled by emotion. But I poured ten
years of my life into that school. They
called me sa'atenuk. Mother.
(turning to him)
That kind of pain reaches back through
the link.

If you will check Taronyu's dictionary you will find:

sa'nok: ["saP.nok^] PF n. mother (from
sa'atenuk C)

So Cameron created "sa'atenuk", but Formmer changed it to Sa'nok as Ekirä said

Irayo, tsumuku!
