Just before the destruction of Hometree, Jake calls out several times "skyva'a" (I'm unsure of the spelling) as a plea to the Omaticaya.  A quick search of the vocab and the boards revealed nothing.  Anyone know the exact translation?  Ska'a is "to destroy."  Maybe it's a variation?

It's sk<iv>a'a (to destroy).  Jake still hasn't mastered the language, he doesn't have access to learnnavi.org.  :)

its skiva'a with it looking like sk <iv> a'a. <iv> is a verb infix for the Subjunctive or that "somthing might or must be so". Aka, he was telling the Na'vi the destruction WAS coming and they needed to peace out ASAP or get cluster-boned.
