Ah you found it! I knew tsal exists. *Tsala we are not sure of. There are no canon examples or releases of this word. But I have a hunch it may eventually come to be, because we have fula. But of course since there are no records of it, it is not in any dictionary. Rightly so.

I know this is going to sound like the devils advocate here
But i read the article that Plumps posted a link to
Taronyu said he added them regarding some kind of mail or document that they were passed at some time. That to me suggests that there is a document somewhere with it in it. Surely someone would have it otherwise maybe a short email to Karyu Pawl regarding that post for his verification. =) if he rubber stamps it then it's canon right?

In the dictionary fìtsap is marked as adverb, in dict-na'vi.com it is marked as adposition... ???

Thanks for pointing that out – corrected ;)

So, I played a bit the 'quality control manager'.
Just take a look on this:
   Word      Dict-Na'vi      Dictionary      Note   
   'awlo      num.      adv.         
   'awve      num.      adv.         
   fayluta      rel.      n.         
   fmawnta      rel.      n.      Dict-Na'vi: that relative pronoun to reported speech of the verbs stawm or peng / Dictionary: that news (contraction of fmawn–it a)   
   fuke      N/A      conj.      missing in Dict-Na'vi (only in ftxey ... fuke constuction)   
   ha'ngiram      adv.      N/A      missing in Dictionary / translation: yesterday afternoon   
   ha'ngiram      n.      N/A      missing in Dictionary / translation: yesterday afternoon (the afternoon yesterday)

   kive      num.      adj.         
   krro      adv.      N/A      missing in Dictionary / translation: some time   

...confusion, false word class and missing words.
Which people do the quality management in dict-na'vi.com?

The rest I will check tomorrow.

Yeah, another list ;D

Let me see if I can clear up some of these things (and I speak from dict-navi.com's perspective)

  • 'awlo ... clearly true, that's an adverb
  • 'awve ... is a numeral or adjective, come to think of it. Could be some of these weird twins :P I guess, back then, everything that has to do with numbers and counting got into the category. Numbers in general are treated as adjectives in Na'vi. So the term 'numeral' is just a fine tuning. The specifications are the same, i.e. as long as the search engine recognises a'awve as well as 'awvea as coming from 'awve, we're good ;)
  • fayluta & fmawnta ... it isn't explicitely stated on naviteri but it comes from faylì'u-t a and the a is exactly the reason why for me, this is a relative pronoun and not a noun. The fine tuning on the definition of fmawnta is just not to get people confused with all the 'what's and 'that's of the language ;)
  • fuke ... I don't see the point of listing it when it is always used in this combination. If other people disagree, we'll of course add it to the list
  • all the time words in -am and -ay ... they gave me a headache, because the advantage of the Taronyu is that we can just ascribe two or more word classes to a word. In dict-navi that's unfortunately not possible. Plus sometimes it makes it difficult to handle translations because the word shape might change (something English doesn't have to worry about too much ;) ) Also the fact that -am and -ay on time words are productive. I assume that's the reason why they are not listed in the Taronyu
  • ìì ... simple explanation: I was too lazy to create a new category / word class :P The only other filler I can think of is tse –  :-\ hmmm, have to talk to Tukan about that.
  • kangay si ... is definately a valid word ('xcuse the pun :P ). It should be in the Taronyu (see here)
  • kekem ... again, the same with the categories. In dict-navi, n. and pn. follow the same search rules. So, there is not much of a difference between a pn and a n – they follow the same rules. If people think, 'pn.' is more correct, we'll change it
  • kekem ke si ... it was used as far as I remember. I just included it because the double negative might be something worth noting ;)
  • the (ke)tsuk- words ... are not included in dict-navi because the prefixes tsuk- and ketsuk- are productive on most verbs. So, even if you type a word like ketsukyo' (whatever that might mean), it will appear on dict-navi as the verb yo' and the hint at the prefix ketsuk- from those one should be able to get the meaning.
  • kive ... see above
  • krro ... now that's a word I'm not sure even exists. :-\ I think some one (could've been me  :-X :-[ ) derived it from krro krro – I have to ask Pawl next time I am in contact with him.

Hehe, the lists will continue soon. ;) ;D

In Dict-Na'vi marked as num. :)

Ok. I have already thought that there is the cause.

Well, that is so confusing... :o
I would ask Pawl whether this word a noun or a relative pronoun.

I don't know, I saw this word is missing in Dict-Na'vi... If the word is found only in combination, then anybody should change it in the Taronyu's dictionary, because the word alone would not make sense.

Pxiswawam and pxiswaway is already included in the dictionary, so why not ha'ngiram, ha'ngiray and other words with am/ay? (I just ask me...)

There's a very good reason why fayluta/fmawnta can't be a noun: both these are created from noun (faylì'u/fmawn) with case ending attached + relative -a-. So:
  • adding second case ending is not possible
  • AFAIK adding relative -a- do not produce noun - compare with futa

I changed the things I didn't have the time for this morning.

I see both as relative pronouns - seems ok to me. Or I can't see something?
Fmawn is noun, also correct

Ok this is rather strange.

I was checking myself on numbers

typed mrrvolaw to make sure i remembered the number 41 correctly
and got this as the result:
"Conversion result:

thenumber mrrvolaw means in English 14
octal (Na'vi):

16
   
structure (calculative):

(8) + 6
   
structure (grammatical):

vo.fu"

so i thought what the heck? so typed 41 and got this

"Conversion result:

thenumber 41 means in Na'vi mrrvolaw
octal (Na'vi):

51
   
structure (calculative):

(5 · 8) + 1
   
structure (grammatical):

mrˌ.vol.aw"

not sure why this is. but could really throw you off if you just doublechecking yourself or trying to translate a number someone typed that you couldn't work out

This look like a little bug.

Normally there should be a double r but that word is written in phonetics letters - m.vol.aw would be correct. This problem is not only on numbers: 'rrta - [ˈʔ.ta]
Dict-na'vi seems to have a problem to show the phonetic letters correctly. This (I used unicode: 1E5B) instead this .

I just believe that the words is shown in phonetic letters, not the correct words.
11110 = 1578 = 82 + 5 x 8 + 7 = zam.mrˌ.vo.hin
Word zamrrvohin.

That and it says that mrrvolaw means 14. 14 is vofu. O.o

Enter mrrvol and you will get 158 instead 508 (4010). ???

tsnì is not a relative pronoun. Relative pronoun is something like

Die Regel, die ich gelernt habe..
The rule that I have learned..

I've raised the issue, about which part of speech tsnì is, in the main Dictionary thread for discussion. imho it's a conjunction. *shrug* :-\
