Annoying Front-of-Book Stuff
0.1 Introduction
Welcome to the Complete Guide to Affixes in Na’vi! This is a compilation and expansion on
the original forum post from Tirea Aean which detailed every affix in Na’vi and how it is used
as well as the implications of the affix. Here I will expand on this by adding any information
that has changed since the original post was edited in 2016. I will also provide three different
sorting arrangements of the affixes: first sorted by location (prefix, infix, suffix), then by
parts of speech, and finally by productivity vs. non-productivity.
0.2 Layout
Every entry will have the same layout which is as follows:
