['Oma Tirea]

More pronounciation/IPA stuff:

nìawnomum [nɪ.aw.ˈno.mum]: probably should note that in informal speech this is [naw.ˈno.mum].

nìayoeng [naj.ˈwɛŋ]: formally this is pronounced [nɪ.aj.ˈwɛŋ] and this should come first.

[Plumps]

Ku'up should be ku.'up. Maximal onset - if it can be in the onset, it will be.

How about [i.ɾaj.o] then?  Shouldn't it be [i.ɾa.jo]?

Same could be said about tswayon but it is {tsway.on}
From here

[Carborundum]

It's [i.raj.o] because ay is a diphtong. However, looking through the dictionary I notice a lot of (apparent) inconsistencies in the IPA. For example, [ʔɪ.ˈhɛ.ju] and [ˈʔɛ.wan]. Is there a rule here?

[Taronyu]

Unless specified by Frommer, diphthongs will always be split up. There are actually relatively few diphthongs mid-word which aren't syllabified with the glide as the onset. Irayo and tswayon are two notable exceptions. There is no real difference phonetically. If anyone wants to search around, I've recorded this information before.

Edited the other two. Cheers Tirea (Inspirata?).

Am I the only one that thinks that it should be this way for ALL words of that sort? Tìohakx, hunger, for instance. I say [to.hak'], because it's easier. Just to add, the adposition "äo" is evil, too!

[Taronyu]

Unfortunately, ease of articulation isn't necessarily the way that languages change. Otherwise all words would reduce to schwa.

Updated the dictionary.

You forgot äie.
But, ma Ìngkoruptusì, you should pronounce words correctly. Otherwise, people don't understand  you or, worse yet, misunderstood. And what turned our language, if everyone remake it on his own way.

Yes, äie is evil, too...but I like it. And I do pronounce Na'vi correctly, though I don't find ä or ì to be terribly resilient in all places.

I like it too. And ä and ì. Perhaps because, in Russian, there is a sound very similar to ì - ы.
So I have no problem with Na'vi pronunciation.

'Oma tirea / Sxkxawng

[Le'eylan]

hermeyp: [hER."mEjp^] P F n. snow flurry (derived from herwì snow and meyp small)

Meyp is here translated as "small" and not "weak"

[Taronyu]

Fixed.

[Eywa'eveng-tìranyu]

I don't know if you noticed, at tskxepay there should be two extra { }.
(pay stands in the last braces, the translation is missing)

[Taronyu]

Fixed.

[Swoka Swizaw]

MaTaronyu, why is "hunting" represented by both tìtusaron and tìtaron? Wouldn't the latter be a hunt?

[Taronyu]

Tìtaron lu lehrrap. 'Hunting is dangerous.'

:/ Weird, huh.

[Swoka Swizaw]

Tìtaron lu lehrrap. 'Hunting is dangerous.'

:/ Weird, huh.

Strangely, I might understand that, but I don't want to. It's a general word for the concept of "hunt". BTW, who is Roger?

Noticed while translating

fkeytok is vin. not *vtr.
tompameyp comes from tompa and meyp not *ameyp

[Taronyu]

Fkeytok is totally semantically intransitive. Duh.
