Noticed this last time. When Naytiri`s showing Seze to Jake, she tells him "To become a hunter - Aronyu you must chose your own ikran and he must chose you!" I`am 100% sure there was no "T". She said just aronyu. Is this possible?
From all the weapons you have used against us, we always feared your guns least!

There is a T, it is just unaspirated as is proper for Na'vi "t" (And "p" and "k") consonants.  It doesn't have the same "pop" as it would in an English word spelled like that.

There's a work in progress beginners guide that covers the subject on the wiki.  Somewhat related, the same consonants are unreleased at the end of the word.

Yeah, the unaspirated 't' will border on sounding like a 'd'.
