Ok form the naming thread I addopted my one as Eywal ting ìkranti for now (ikran given by the great mother)




And I had a go at forming one for a friend of mine.. it should mean "the peoples strength" if I formatted it correctly?


Ayna'vi tìtxur


Now broken these down they should respectively be

eywa-l ting ich-ranti

and

Ahh-Na'vi tich-oot (tìtxur was kinda hard, the I letter gives a ihh sound I believe followed by an ejective then the ohh sound from the U and the double T from the r (i think!))



I made a recoridng of how I think they should be said. Critique please?

You need to work on your ejectives and you missed the glottal stop in Na'vi, but other than that sounded fine.

However for the people's strength, you'd probably want
Ayna'viyä tìtxur

Ay-na'vi-yä tìtxur
PL-na'vi-GEN strength
Ftxey lu nga tokx ftxey lu nga tirea? Lu oe tìkeftxo.

those ejectives are pretty hard but none the less.
