Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to come up with a pun in Na'vi with all these clean room sterile perfectly segmented definitions we have?  I have to resort to homophones (And there are a few ways you can make one word look like another through infixes/suffixes, but I haven't worked out a pun off of it yet.)
Ftxey lu nga tokx ftxey lu nga tirea? Lu oe tìkeftxo.

This is very important! And would add a new level of confusion ;D

I managed a tad of ironic humor (at least funny to me), but not what you're referring to.

   fahew sngelä apxasul

also (and probably better):

   pxasula fahew sngelä

I think the ability to pun will come with time. It might entail fudging on the vowels a bit, but it's bound to come.
