    Phonology and orthographyNavi is an unwritten language. Due to the tsaheylu that connects all life on Pandora, whereuponmemories are stored and accessed, there is no need for a writing system. That said, for thepurpose of humans learning Navi, a standardized form was developed using Roman letterscoupled with diacritic marks on some vowels.

    Phonology:***Please note that all terms have been transcribed using IPA in the bilingual dictionaries.

    Stress markings have been added in many of the terms until further clarification has been madeupon them.

    Vowels:There are seven simple vowels:

    Front Central Back

    Close [i]i[]

    [u]u

    Close-Mid [o]oOpen-Mid [e]

    []

    Open [a]a

    and four diphthongs [aw], [ew], [ay], [ey].

    These vowels may occur in sequences, meaning there can be long strings of vowels within aword. However, each vowel counts as a syllable, so that meuia (honor) has four syllables[m.u.i.a].

    In addition, the syllabic consonants ll[l ] and rr [r ] behave as vowels, as in pllte [pl .t]"to speak". The rr is strongly trilled, and the ll is "light", never a "dark" (velarized) *[ ]. Thesemay occur directly before another vowel, as in hrrap [hr .ap] "dangerous".

    Navi does not have vowel length or tone, but it does have contrastive stress:tte[tu.t]"person", tut [tu.t] "female person". Although stress may move withderivation, as here, it isnot affected by inflection (case on nouns, tense on verbs, etc). So, for example, the verb lu "tobe" has stress on its only vowel, the u, and no matter what else happens to it, the stress stays onthat vowel: lol [lo.lu] "was" (lolu), lolng [lo.lng. u] "was (ugh!)" (lolngu), etc.

    ConsonantsThere are twenty one consonants in Navi. In transcriptions, the ejective consonants are writtenwith digraphs inx,a convention that appears to be unique to Navi.

    Labial Alveolar Palatal Velar Glottal

    Ejective [px]p [tx]t [kx]kPlosive [p]p [t]t [k]k []Affricate [ts]Fricative [f]f [v]v [s] s [z] z [h] hNasal [m]m [n] n [ng] Flap [r] Trill [rr]rLiquid/glide [w]w [l] l or [ll] l [y]j

    The fricatives, f v s z h, and the affricate, ts, are restricted to the onset of a syllable; theother consonants may occur at either the beginning or at the end (though w or y in final positionare considered parts of diphthongs, as they only occur as ay ey aw ew and may be followed byanother final consonant, as in skxawng "moron"). However, in addition to appearing beforevowels, (f ts s)may form consonant clusters with any of the unrestricted consonants (thestops and liquids/glides) apart from() making for 39 clusters.

    Lenition:

    For some NaVi nouns with strong initial consonants, such as px, t, or k, adding either plural

    marker ay- or me- with weaken that initial consonant. Theory behind lenition is largely thought

    to be easier and smoother pronunciation for the mouth. Regardless, the following sounds whenfound consonant initial are weakened to these following forms:

    Before plural marker After plural marker

    px, tx, kx p, t, k

    p, t/ts, k f, s, h

    (deletion)

    Examples:tsmuk sibling kelku homeaysmuk/smuk siblings mehelku/helku homespxun arm

    mepun/pun arms

    GrammarPronounsNavi pronouns encodeclusivity. That is, there are different words for "we" depending onwhether the speaker is including you or not. There are also special forms for the dual "the two ofus" (with or without you), and the trial "the three of us", etc. They do not inflect for gender;although it's possible to distinguish "he" from "she", the distinction is optional.

    sing. dual trial plural

    Exclusive oe moe ayoe

    Inclusive oeng ayoeng

    2nd person nga aynga

    3rd person po mefo ayfo

    The deferential, or ceremonial, forms of "I" and "you" are ohe and ngenga, respectively. "He"and "she" can optionally be differentiated as poan and po.

    These pronouns utilize a system of attaching several different morphemes to articulate what theymean.

    me- dual marker oe 1st.singularay- plural marker ng(a) 2nd.singular

    po(an/) 3rd.singular

    For example, the exclusive vs. inclusive dual really translates into two mes (meaning myself

    and someone else) and me and you, respectively.

    Pronouns are declined for case similarly to nouns (See Case below)Nouns and prepositionsNouns show greater number distinctions than human languages: besides singular and plural, theynot only have special dual forms for two of an item (eyes, hands, lovers, etc.), which are notuncommon in human language, but also trial forms for three of an item, which on Earth are onlyfound with pronouns (***This has yet to yield any examples) However, gender is only

    occasionally (and optionally) marked.

    Plurals:

    The plural prefix is ay-, and the dual is me- (nari "eye", menari "eyes"). Both trigger lenitionin Navi words (See Lenition above) In nouns which undergo lenition, the plural prefix may bedropped, so the plural oftokx "body" is either aysokx or just sokx.

    Gender:

    Masculine nouns may be distinguished by the suffix -an, and feminine by -, which is stressed:tsmuk or tsmktu "sibling", tsmkan "brother", tsmuk "sister".

    Articles:

    There is no distinction between definite and indefinitie nouns; context is based largely ondemonstratives (see Questions and demonstratives).

    Case:

    Case Vowel Final Marker Consonant Final Marker

    Intransitive N/A N/AErgative (Transitive Agent) -l -l

    Accusative (Transitive Patient) -t(i) -itDative -ru -ruGenitive -y - eyTopical -ri -ri

    One way nouns are conjugated for case is by transitivity. However, unlike most of the languagesspoken by humans, Navi has separate markers for the subject of a transitive verb and the objectof the same transitive verb. An object is marked with the accusative suffix -ti, and an agent withthe ergative suffix -l, while an intransitive subject has no case suffix. For example:

    Oe-l nga-ti kameie

    I-ERGyou-ACCSeeLAUD"I See you" (a greeting)

    For further explanation on Transitivity, please refer to the Crash course in linguistic terminologyused for Na'Vi found on the learnnavi.org website under Downloads.

    Genitive (-y)

    The genitive case refers to the possessive case, or a noun that modifies another noun. InEnglish, the Genitive marker that is typically used is the (s):

    E.g.Johns

    cheese.Charlottes book.

    In the case of NaVi, the genitive marker is typically suffixed to the end of the pronoun toshow possession over another noun.

    E.g. Oe-y tmuntxa.I-GEN mateMy mate

    Dative (-ru)

    The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whomsomething is given, or in other words, the recipient of something.

    E.g. John gave Mary the book.Mary was given the book from John.

    NaVi: Amhul-1 Ralu-ru vul-ti tngAmhul-ERG Ralu-DAT treebranch-ACC giveAmhul gives Ralu the treebranch

    Topic Marker (-ri)The topic marker is used to introduce the topic of the clause, and is somewhat equivalent

    to (though much more common than) English "as for". It preempts the case of the noun: that is,when a noun is made topical, usually at the beginning of the clause, it takes the -ri suffix.***This is not a substitute for the possessive case. Instead it is used to gather focus from alarger clause onto a single entity.

    E.g. The play was not enjoyed by anyone.As for John, the play was not enjoyable.

    NaVi: tukru-ri lehrrap lu tengkrr oe taronspear-TOP dangerous be while I huntThe spear is dangerous while/when I hunt

    Adpositions:

    Besides case, the role of a noun in a clause may be indicated with adpositions. Any adpositionmay occur either as a preposition before the noun, or as an enclitic after the noun, a greaterdegree of freedom than human languages allow. For example, "with you" may be either hu nga

    or ngahu. When used as enclitics, they are much like the numerous cases found in Hungarianand Finnish. When used as prepositions, more along the lines of what English does, certain ofthem trigger lenition. One of the leniting prepositions is m "in", as in m sokx "in the body".This may cause some ambiguity with short plurals: m sokx could also be short for m aysokx"in the bodies".

    AdjectivesNaviadjectives are inflected to show connection to their noun by using the syllabic vowel a-,which is attached on the side closest to the noun. For example, "a long river" can be expressedeither as,

    ngim-a kilvan

    long-ATTRriver

    or as,

    kilvan a-ngim

    river ATTR-long

    The free word order holds for all attributives: Genitives (possessives) and relative clauses can

    also either precede or follow the noun they modify. The latter especially allows for great freedomof expression.

    The attributive affix -a- is only used when an adjective modifies a noun. Predicative adjectivesinstead take the "be" verb lu:

    kilvan ngim lu

    river long be

    "The river is long"

    NumbersAs the Navi have four digits per hand, they have a base-eight number system. Only a fewnumbers are attested:

    aw 1mune 2tsng 4onmrr (?) 5vofu 16

    tsvol 32

    From this it would appear that the root for 4 is ts, for 8 is vo, and that 32 is "4 eights".

    Numerals form various derivatives, such as awpo "one" (an individual), (n)awve"first", awsitng "together" (one-make-same), kawtu "no-one" (negative k-), kawkrr "never"(not-one-time), naw "only", and nawtu "alone" from "one"; also nmun "again" andperhaps muntxa "to mate" from mun- "two".

    VerbsVerbs are conjugated for tense but not for person. That is, they record distinctions like "I am, Iwas, I would", but not like "I am, we are, s/he is". Conjugation relies exclusively on infixes,which are like suffixes but go inside the verb. "To hunt", for example, is taron, but "hunted" istolaron, with the infix ol.

    There are two positions for infixes: after the consonant (onset) of the penultimate syllable, andafter the consonant of the final syllable. Because many Navi verbs have two syllables, thesecommonly occur on the first and last syllable, as in the examples below. In monosyllabic wordslike lu "be" and tsun "can", they both appear after the initial consonant, keeping their relativeorder, as in tsun[tsolngun] "was able to (ugh!)".

    The first infix position (after the consonant of the penultimate syllable) is taken by infixes fortense, aspect, or mood, as well as by participle and reflexive forms, which precede tense andaspect when they co-occur.

    Tense:

    Future (FUT) Immediate Future (IMM) Present (PRES) N/A (unmarked)Recent Past (REC) Past (PST)

    taron taron taron taron taronhunted just hunted hunts about to hunt will hunt

    Aspect/Mood:

    Perfective (PFV) Imperfective (IMFV)

    Subjunctive (SJV)

    taron taron taronhas hunted was hunting hunts?

    The perfective is a completed or contained action whereas the imperfective is an unfinished,ongoing or uncontained action. There is no clear subjunctive mood in English, but it essentiallyexpresses hopes, uncertainties, possibilities or opinions. A clear English example is the Past

    Subjunctive of the verb to be:PAST: I was a teacher.

    Lu karyu.

    PAST SJV: If I had been a teacher.Txo lu karyu.

    Participle/Reflexive:

    Participle

    Reflexive ?

    The participial infix is found in forms such as krusey "dead", from ke "not" and rey "tolive" (that is, "not-living"), and txantslusam "wise", from txan "much" and tslam "to understand"(that is, "much-understanding"). Like tense, aspect and mood, it falls under the first group ofinfixes that are inserted after the consonant of the penultimate syllable.

    The second infix position is taken by infixes for affect (speaker attitude, whether positive ornegative) and for evidentiality (uncertainty or indirect knowledge). For example, in thegreeting in the section on nouns, Oel ngati kameie "I See you", the verb kame "to See"is inflected positively as kameie to indicate the pleasure the speaker feels in the meeting.

    In the subsequent sentence,Oeri ontu teya lngu

    "My nose is full (of his smell)",however, the phrase teya lu "is full" is inflected negatively as teya lngu to indicatethe speaker's distaste at the experience.

    The copular be vs. the locational be:

    There are two "be" verbs, lu, which is "be" in the sense that "A is B" and is used withadjectives (a copula), and tok, which is "be" in the sense of "A is in/at a place" (a verb ofexistence).
