Is there music for this?/is it included anywhere in the soundtrack for Avatar?

[Toruk Makto]

I don't think so. It never made it far enough.

[`Eylan Ayfalulukanä]

Pawl challenged someone to write music to these words. I am looking into doing this, but work has temporarily gotten in the way...

Very nice to get some background on this song! Songs are an integral part of any language in my opinion, so I'm very happy with this information.
Challenging us to make a proper song or chant from the lyrics is an awesome idea, I'll be trying some stuff during my lecture tomorrow quite probably.
