Wow! This is truly interesting and awesome. :)

There are two important updates (so far) in the comments.

First, ä is oops.

Second, (and this point was speculated about in the past), ke li triggers pleonastic negation.  That is, one says, ke li ke plltxe, not *ke li plltxe.

Also note that tìomummì is pronounced as tìomumì or even tìomì (if one speaks very fast) :) But anyway we should write tìomummì - with double MeM :)

That looks more like 'ä', actually, which was also the proposed form in the April LEP submission.

Ahh.  I asked for clarification on his blog.  Balanced quote marks made me think it was quoted.

Here's another acronym you might consider, which features the same new word: FSNg

It's because it's analogous to FYI.  Ngaytxoa I didn't note that earlier.

Plumps

Update on Kem's question about verbs + infixes + -yu:


  • -yu is freely productive with any verb root.
  • combinations with infixes and -yu need to be listed in the dictionary.

In the Na'vi text he uses the lenited form of kemlì'u with fra- which strikes me as odd... could be another slip-up ??? :-\

And in another answer, he confirms that tsmìm also applies to tracks made by beings that are considered persons. I'd therefore suggest adding "footprints" or suchlike to the definition.
