This is a Navi Dictionary, without derivations to help searching. Thank Tuiq for allowing it
to be. Bold indicates Navi word. Italics indicate English denition. Plain text indicates gram-
matical categorisation: parentheses indicate further notes. I have included mid-dots in the IPA
to mark where inxes are to be placed, where tpre-rst1ar2on are the positions. Proper
nouns have been capitalised. Knowledge of lenition processes, including vowel reduction and
ellision, will be assumed. Note also that allomorphs, where specied, are subject only to per-
sonal preference.
Abbreviations:
= morpheme boundary
+ = leniting morpheme boundary
<> = inx morpheme
adj. = adjective
adp. = adposition
adv. = adverb
conj. = conjunction
c.w. = compound word
dem. = demonstrative
intj. = interjection
inter. = interrogative
n. = noun
num. = number
part. = particle
pn. = pronoun
prop. n. = proper noun
v. = verb
svin. = stative intransitive verb
vtr. = transitive verb
vin. = intransitive verb
Sources
I have sourced every word as best as I could. This sourcing is placed in a subscript after the IPA
transcription, and tells where I, or the source from which I received a word, initially got their
word from Frommer. In early March, Frommer sent us a list of words which he had: these are
the denitive source now, and not the ASG. Some words are not present in that list, but have
been conrmed by Frommer if they are here. Words that are modied by unproductive afxes
are included here if Frommer has used them: words that have a modied semantic meaning
due to a productive afx have also been included likewise. In order of canonicity, from most
to least:
PF = Paul Frommer
M = The Movie
JC = James Cameron
G = the Avatar Games
ASG = The Survival Guide
