So I've been trying to decipher the Na'vi in the Re-release Special Contest thread.   Part of me wishes I could be there for the festivities (such exalted company! ke pxan!) but the other part is glad that's impossible because all I can produce at this time would be a lot of blank looks and Tarzan talk.  :)

But I do have questions about this sentence from Prrton:
QuoteAyfya'oìlä... SänHoszeyìri peseng tsun fko rivun prrkrr letalioang a ftxìlor frato?
(following many paths?) ... San Jose where one can find (prr??)time sturmbeast that is tastiest than all   <-- my pathetic translation attempt   :D

What is ayfya'oìlä?  I know what the pieces are ( ayplural      fya'o - way, path, manner    -ìlä - by, via, following) but I'm not sure what the structure represents

What is prrkrr?   Something to do with time, I'm assuming, but I can't find this anywhere.... young time?  Early?   I'm trying to find something that fits the context, but I'm failing...

Could ftxìlor be translated as tastiest in this context?   



All help gratefully appreciated... irayo!

You can't figure out prrkrr because it's not a Na'vi word, it's "burger", the rest of it you pretty much got.

So "prrkrr letalioang" is essentially sturmbeast burger?   Heh, that certainly makes a lot more sense.  :)

Irayo!
