I'm not sure of the direct translation for the Deutsche words you put up (I imagine fairly direct to the English list) but the English term it sounds like you're shooting for is "Staging Point." (Although, this is more commonly used for military operations.)

"Trace" might be summed up with sutx

wich of these suggestions make(s) sense depends on the exact meaning of "fya'o"

Yes, it would seem many of those would be variations on the fya root.

Several of your suggestions might be encompassed by "Fya'o leomum" - "Known path"
But, that wouldn't be quite as distinct as some of those.

path/trail on a surface (caused by something eg: walking there first)[/color]

Sounds like you're referring to what English knows as "Beaten path" - commonly found in the saying "Off the beaten path."
Basically, a path that has been formed by way of excessive use, gradually "beating" down anything growing there until it's just dirt.
In the popular adage I referenced, it's usually conceptual, and means "the way everybody goes/does something" or "the normal way of doing things."

I'm not sure if we can come up with a Na'vi version for that, but it might be possible... I somehow doubt there'd be a unique word for it (but who knows!).  My best guess would be something based around tengfya.

I apologize that this is a bit of a tangent, but this reminds me:  We need some Na'vi metaphors--or, at the very least, explanations of how known words can be used in metaphorical ways.  What would it mean if one Na'vi called another a nantang or a pa'li?

thats an important and intersting point. it might be worth opening a new topic but maybe not in the vocabulary-expansion section.
i think there are many words that require a detailed explanation in wich situations it is used, in combination with wich other words, how common it is, associations, ...

I do think it's not a pressing matter for the vocab expansion list Karyu Pawl wants from us in the coming days; but yes, i would like to go back over many of the words we already have and get a sense of what their metaphorical interpretations might be, nuances of connotation, etc.
