Yeah, I also use é when I need to write "female" in Na'vi (not "person"). But I understand the word tute always as túte :)

As for those verbs, I don't know which variant should be default - hawnuyú or hawnúyu ??? And perhaps I'll not understand if I see hawnuyu without accent marker. Only from context... ;)

I'm sure hawnuyú would be the rarer of the two, but I'm not sure if you'd ever actually need to mark it.  How much does anyone use the ceremonial infix around here? ;)

Um.  :)

In this particular instance, hawn‹uy›u and hawnu-yu are perfect homophones — the root is accented hawnu.

Haha, the old bait and switch!  :D 

Yeah from my list above: wìntxuyu, fyawìntxuyu, sl(eyk)uyu, lonuyu, kxuyu, mäkxuyu, muwìntxuyu, täftxuyu are not homophones, basically anything with the stress on the last syllable in verb form.

Sometime, at the time, I studied him/her.

This could also mean "Sometimes, I studied him/her."

I'm not sure that the metaphorical use of ro+ there ma 'oma tirea is kosher as ro+ is specifically listed as being locative.

Oel fì'ut sar sar ;)

...but which one is "use" and which one is "those-things (dative)"?

Here is yet another true homophone, of which only context can distinguish.

Krro krro, oel ftolia pot. -> Krro ro hrr oel ftolia pot.
Oel fì'ut sar sar. -> Oel fì'ut sar aysar.

So we have to choose the another way to express if we want to avoid this kind of strange things...

Hmm homophones. I wonder if any of these can be used to make a pun...
Please tell me if you see mistakes in a Na'vi post of mine. It's the only way I'll learn. :P
