Okay, it was than my 2. time not knowing about that chart...
Another question: is zerok transitive?

I suppose so. I'd like to think that Frommer would've mentioned if it was special. The ambitransitive config seems to be the default for Na'vi verbs.

So this would suit all the verbs like this, like hawl, etc. too?
Ah... it's something good to know... i didn't have the slightest clue how to use these...

Frankly, I have no idea what hawl takes as argument(s), or whether it works with (or in fact requires) an ‹äp›. As far as I know, we're not even sure if it can mean prepare something/someone as in English. Fpi seems like a logical choice if you want to say prepare for war, for example.

But let's continue this conversation elsewhere, and not derail this thread any further!

I have a suggestion for an idiom:
Vay mipa tanhì za'u

Kayrìlien and I were talking on Fayspuk and we kinda came up with it spontaneously.

Suggestions for phrasing are welcome

May I suggest "vay mipa tanhì ziva'u" ? I would imagine that the subjunctive works well here as we're sort of expressing a wish. But yeah, this is a beautiful expression IMO. Nice job, ma Rainan!
