A couple of Na'vi abbreviations (primarily for writing purposes):

n.k.

T.s.

alu is good enough in its own ;)

See also Kewnya's old thread on Internet Acronyms nìNa'vi.

Any others that might be useful?

u.f.t ??

I see what you did thar ;D nice one. tho why not

uft.

"e.g.", "P.S.", "i.e.", "etc." are actually from Latin. (exempli gratia, post scriptum, id est, et cetera)

Surely, the proper Na'vi translation of Latin abbreviations in English text would have to be from some obsolete historical language of the Na'vi? ;)

I'm sure there are other forms in English as well – English is so rich in abbreviations ;)

In German we have
  - usw. for etc., meaning ,,und so weiter", 'and so forth'
  - z.B. for e.g., meaning ,,zum Beispiel"
  - d.h. for i.e., meaning ,,das heißt", 'that means'

So, abbreviations don't have to come from a dead language :P

They don't even have to come from a properly spelled language.

Originally, O.K. stood for "oll korrect."

When I'm texting Seykxetskxe, we usually use 'hylv' for hayalovay. Ke omum if that's the same kind of abbreviations you're discussing though. just shortened for texting.

Another one (likely not as useful though :P): tkf.

BTW are any of the abbreviations on the first post of any use??
