Tse... Today I was cruising around online and saw that Mech's wiktionary had some words I hadn't seen before. I searched a bit harder, and found that Pandorapedia had a ton of plant names that the ASG didn't have. So I added all of those to my dictionary, and then wondered about the stress. Luckily, Frommer is the man. So: Here, for the first time, is the correct stress and spelling for all of the plant names he made for the botanists. Pretty fricken cool. They're all in the dictionary appendix, now. Worth noting: utral utu mauti, the push banana fruit, is the only non-Frommerian word (figures). All the rest are 100% awesome.

'ä'o	pitcher (plant)
'ampirikx	leaf pitcher (plant)
'ele'wll	thorny paw (plant)
anìheyu	fibonacci (plant)
apxangrr	delta tree
awaiei	banshee of paradise (plant)
eanean	cheadle (plant) (both stresses primary)
eyaye	warbonnet fern (plant)
fkxakewll	thistle bud (plant)
flefle	sols delight (plant)
fngapsutxwll	anemonoid (plant)
fwäkìwll	mantis orchid
hìrumwll	puffer (plant)
kllpxiwll	lionberry (plant)
kxaylte	cillaphant (plant)
loreyu	helicoradian (plant)
mìnyu	twisted lily (plant)
mulpxar	roosterhead (plant)
pa'liwll	direhorse pitcher plant
pamtseowll	cat ear plant
paywll	dapophet (plant)
penghrrap	binary sunshine (plant)
pxayzekwä	spiny whips (plant)
pxiut	razor palm
pxiwll	hermit bud (plant)
pxorna'	episoth (plant)
pxorna'lor	sari (plant) (Also both stresses primary)
rawp	bladder pod (plant)
rumut	puffball tree
smaoe	phalanxia (plant)
sngukx	grub plant
somtìlor	popsicle (plant)
syeptute	hyneman (plant)
tautral	beanstalk palm
tawtsngal	panopyra (plant)
tìhawnuwll	spartan (plant)
tompawll	geode (plant)
torukspxam	octoshroom (plant)
tsawlapx(angrr)	unidelta tree(short form tsawlapx)
tstxa'a	canalyd (plant)
tsyorina'wll	cycad (plant)
txll'u	hookagourd (plant)
txumpaywll	scorpion thistle (plant)
txumtsä'wll	baja tickler (plant)
väfewll	centipede (plant)
värumut	vein pod (plant)
yomhì'ang	dakteron (plant)
yomioang	chalice plant

While many of these might not seem relevant, there are a ton of useful compound words in there that help in memorizing normal words. Like 'pxi', meaning sharp, or 'ioang', animal. See if you can figure the rest out: I certainly enjoyed finding the meanings.

Prrte' ngaru livu!

[Tirea Aean]

tewti!!

I am wondering now if it is fruitful to memorize these.....probably not now...maybe after I have memorized every other word in the dictionary that is NOT a proper noun....EPIC post tho.

[Plumps]

Yeah, massive indeed!

On second thought:
I'm not a botanist — I have no idea how I should translate those

[Kì'eyawn]

Maybe Pandorapedia already has translations?

[Taronyu]

It does. If you'll want, I'll sit down later and provide all of the derivations. I have them in my dictionary, though, that's probably easier.

Go to the Appendix

I meant translations of the stxo le'Ìnglìsì—so Plumps could translate those.  But if you've got derivations for all these plant-names, i'll have to check those out in the dictionary.   *joy*

[Kì'eyawn]

Ma Taronyu, a possible derivation i think you missed:

hìrumwll = hì('ia)-rum-('e)wll = small ball plant

Edit:  There were originally two here, then i realized i had misread the second.  Ngaytxoa.

Oe lu fpom nang I appreciate the creation of this terminology. I wonder when fauna will follow? Is that worth asking K. Pawl about?

I'm giving some thought of creating a scientific/technical/engineering subdictionary.

[Na'ríng Tsmuke]

looking forward to fauna 
Irayo for the updated dictionary

[Taronyu]

I don't think that there will be more Fauna. These are words he created months and months ago, and they've been around - just without the correct spelling or stress information.

[Prrton]

There are a few on here that make me curious about possible root or other corollary meanings:

- fle
- mul
- pxar
- rawp
- sma (if it indeed stands alone)
- tstxa ( tstxa' ? )
- txll

«Sngukx» *feels* to me like it would simply be that as a name for the plant and nothing more.

I particularly conceptually like «tautral» and the fact that the sawtute named it after an 'Rrtan fairytale. I can just see the thing slithering up into the clouds.

Perhaps «rawp» is our word for "bag/pocket"?

[Taronyu]

I'd like to know how much Pawl had access to the botanical information of these before writing them. I didn't think to ask. That might shed some interesting light on his constructions.

[`Eylan Ayfalulukanä]

There has to be at least one more fauna iitem. I have not seen anywhere a term to describe the protolemur. Maybe I am missing something somewhere. Unless it has another name, it is not in the dictionary.

A few of these flora names stand out to me:

anìheyu   fibonacci (plant) - I am sure this name implies some part of the plant visibly follows a fibonachi sequence, which is actually fairly common in the plant world.

eanean   cheadle (plant) (both stresses primary) - The name suggests that this plant is the source of much of the cyan bioluminescence we see on Pandora.

kllpxiwll   lionberry (plant) - Anything involving lions is good.    Wonder if this berry tastes like meat, or perhaps is a favorite browse of Toruk.

rawp   bladder pod (plant) - Could this be the source for the bladders for 'bladder lanterns' (as opposed to animal bladders)? This is a wou lì`u

sngukx   grub plant - That is also  a really wou lì`u

Answers to your questions here dude: http://www.pandorapedia.com/

Was there a typo in kxaylte? The L in the 1st syllable?

Txumpaywll has also got to be wrong. Makes me wonder about the syllabification of rumut, yomhì'ang, tsawlapx.

Txumpaywll, you're right. All the rest are as given by Frommer.
