Thank you and thank you again. I hope you enjoy it.

Hopefully it will make the time pass by faster (and a bit more fun than staring at the computer screen waiting).

Looks like an amazing learning tool.  I would like to see more verb conjugation.  Gratz.

Don't take this as flaming, it's just a point of preference.  I much despise Papyrus as a text.  It is ridiculously overused.  I realize in THIS case it does fit well, it is just one of those things that have lost their edge.

You mean like comic sans?

dustywhite, you seem to have skipped over my message in your responses, not sure if you're just digesting them or you missed it.

Been waiting for you to weigh in bossman. Completely missed it. lemme start from scratch and read everything here. BRB. (Gotta turn off Animainacs--too distracting)

I lost my layout program (yeah I am harping on that again--sorry), so no clip art, no fancy (print-friendly) layouts, just Papyrus and Palatino Linotype. It's pretty boring, but at least it's not 100% Times New Roman.  :P

Okay, changed my mind. Replying here/ There is just too much to say  :)

Might want to change a couple of the words too..

Smile is lrrtok, faheu (Or what is considered proper spelling now, fahew) is smell - key word puzzle 1
Similarly, the actors all pronounced it "tsaheylu", so that may be the correct spelling...  (Several places)

Plus, does it make sense to use the secret word for one puzzle as a clue for another? (Mystery word puzzle 1 vs 3)

I don't know where the "KelutrEl" spelling came from (Not saying you misspelled it, I've seen it elsewhere) but it doesn't make sense, since Utral is tree, and the SG (Source of the word I believe) has kelutral as well. (Also several places)

Not sure if you're playing off the fact that we didn't know the word for friend in "Na'vi don't have any friends" - because they do have 'eylan now.

Spelling: I do not disagree. But I do not understand. I have directed this question at another experienced Na'vi speaker in a different thread and I am awaiting the answer (with all due respect how do *we* know that FOX or Frommer, or whomever is "wrong"?). I need to understand the answer, well I need to get an answer AND understand it. Then I will be 100% on board. Until then, I have just been using the ASG dictionary and the learnnavi.org support documents (unofficial dictionary, word lists, the new dictionary software--the stuff from the site--I try to keep as updated as possible).

Made changes in puzzles (thank you!) and in fact, I did make notes about spelling so that people know that I may change the spelling at any time without further warning (once I understand this spelling issue).

Yeah, and as that "friend" thing, while technically correct, it was a bit of creative license. Now of course we DO have a word for friend, but that particular page is one from the early days (note the use of color and clip art) when I could make small visual enhancements. The point is that I can't edit that page. However, I will try, say within the next month, to get a new copy of a decent layout program and redo this whole book/let and that will give me the excuse to clean up a lot of things. I want to change that page, as I want to include the word friend. Friend is a good common word I think people should know and use a lot.

In every way thank you for your help. I need to understand the spelling issue, but that will come (probably today). And I will (try not to start sentences with he word "and" -- and I will . . .) do my best to keep up on the newest updates of the learnnavi.org support documents and software, so that my tiny contribution will mesh nicely (have the right words :) ) with the overall instruction.

(Some cool salutation in Na'vi should go here)

Irayo for your hard work ma tsmukan. This is very helpful to me since I have very little time to devote to learning. I just pull it out between classes and work on it.

Yep, I'm definitely going to enjoy these activities once I have a means to print them.  (Perhaps from school....)

Irayo for your diligence and putting up with criticism so far.

What a time for my printer to quit. :P
Great work though, Dusty!

With all of my heart I thank you. I will see what I can do to make future pages easy for absolute beginners, challenging for those who are not, and evil enough for FOX, oops! I mean the RDA! (gyaa! I hate being so sumìna* sometimes!)

Thank you all. I hope you all continue to learn Na'vi in the many ways it is presented here. Please remember to thank the instructors who have helped me correct bad grammar and mistakes I should have seen ahead of time.

But that is of little consequence, for I am a truly evil person. I have created a new puzzle to tax the minds of those who dare try it. Please, please know that I only created this crossword puzzle to bring pain and misery on those most knowledgeable of Na'vi vocabulary.

This puzzle (which is too evil to post here, so I will give it its own thread in this topic "Your Projects/Other Resources") contains no infixes, suffixes or prefixes (although I am not above that), and only a few shrewdly altered clues (which is my sacred right as a crossword editor), but it is not for the feint of heart. Please accept my apologies for being such a sociopathic ingrate.

Of course if you discount my words, and try it, please remember to give me feedback, so that future puzzles can be even more painful to solve. Please know that my ultimate goal at all times is to help you learn Na'vi, not pretend that I am some kind hearted instructor, or any expert on anything but causing mental pain.

Yes! It is! Thank you. My typing is worse than my spelling! I am promulgating the usage of that word, so that skxawng does not become overused.

Great, after a dozen tries or so, I finally managed to download it. I quickly saved it on my pc, so I won't be having trouble again.  ;)

This is awesome, thank you very much for making this!  :D
