Quote from: Paul Frommerfwä mantis (n.)
'ang insect (n.)
payoang fish (n.)
yayo bird (n.)
zize' hellfire wasp (n.)
prrwll moss (n.)
rìk leaf (n.)
spxam fungus (n.)
'ewll plant (n.)

Correction: The glottal stop in hì'ang is on the 'ANG, but the stress is on the . Now correct above too.

Mantis is cool. I wonder if it has the greek sense as well - eh, annis?

As for birds - I thought we were fairly certain that there are no birds on Pandora. Does PF know something that we don't?

Thanks for sharing, ma Prrton. :)

Are the texts that are placed along the new vocabulary recently from all of you or Frommer's?

ioang - payoang - hì'ang => is there a new root there with which we could do something? *(o)ang = animal of some kind?

Well, the Ikran lays eggs, flies and has an inner bone structure (as opposed to the chitin skeleton of an insect) - doesn't that count as a bird?
What about the smaller ones that Jake and Norm see on their first flight over the water?

I am thinking that "ioang" is the root for all of the oang words, just shortened.

Hellfire wasp...never saw that one before. Quite a strange-looking bug.

Do you think yayo is a contraction of ya-ioang as well, ma smuk?

Wow, I didn't see that. Very possibly! If so, maybe it does include banshees and stingbats - and maybe wasps too.
