Just say "oe lu skxawng" - as far as we know, there is no contraction of "oe lu".

By the way, Na'vi's contractions don't have extra apostrophes like English's do - any apostrophe in a Na'vi word is an actual letter (representing the glottal stop)
Ma evi, ke'u ke lu prrte' to fwa sim tuteot ayawne.
Slä txo tuteo fmi 'ivampi ngat ro seng, fu nìfya'o, a 'eykefu ngati vä', tsakem ke lu sìltsan.
Tsaw lu ngeyä tokx! Kawtu ke tsun nìmuiä 'ivampi ngat txo ngal ke new tsakemit.
Ha kempe si nga? Nì'awve, nga plltxe san kehe. Tsakrr, ngal tsatsengti hum!

We have a confirmation from Frommer that "oe" can be shortened down to one syllable (almost like "weh") to be used as a psudo-contracted form. So far this has only appeared with suffixes but that doesn't mean it's not illegal to use it by itself.

Aside from that there's no way to contract it any further that I know.
