Body in general
body (tokx) (A)
- Does "tokx" only refer to body in the anatomical sense (body of an animal/Na'vi/...) or is it a generic term for any space-filling objects (physical sense of "body"). Or are there different terms used for these concepts - as originally in German "Leib" (anat.) vs. "Körper" (phys.) - but nowadays "Leib" is mostly replaced by "Körper" (but not in all cases, e. g. it's Unterleib [lower body], not *Unterkörper).
skin (B)
Head
head (A)
face (A)
mouth (A)
nostrils (C)
- Is it called the same in Na'vi-noses and in the case of the breathing openings in many animals?
breath (n and v) (B)
forehead (C)
chin (C)
cheek (C)
part of the head, which doesn't belong to the face (C)
hair (B)
Neck
neck (B)
- Is there just one word for the body-part between the head and the shoulders, or is it different at a whole and at the back-side (like "Hals" [neck] and "Nacken" [nape of the neck] in German).
Upper body
shoulder (B)
upper body (B)
- Does "upper body" include the head (as e. g. Japanese "jôhanshin" [lit. upper half of body]) or is it just the body-part between head and lower body (as e. g. German "Oberkörper" [lit. upper-body])?
breast (B)
- Is it called the same in male Na'vi and in female Na'vi? Is there a special term for the protruding parts of the female breast, or is there just one term "breast" to describe both, the body-part between shoulder and stomach *and* the 'boobs'?
nipple (A)
stomach (A)
navel (C)
the back (dorsal part of the upper-body) (C)
spine (visible/touchable vertical line on the back) (C)
Lower Body
lower body (A)
- Does "lower body" include the legs and feet (as e. g. Japanese "kahanshin" [lit. lower half of body]) or is it just the body-part between stomach and legs (as e. g. German "Unterleib" [lit. lower-body])?
hip (C)
buttocks (B)
- Are there different terms for the body-part itself and the two half-moon-parts, like German "Hintern"/"Gesäß" (= the body part as a whole) and "Backe" (= one of the two bulgings)?
to defecate (C)
- Generic term and/or separated to urine and scat.
private parts (B)
- At least a generic term would be helpful. Maybe different in males and females?
Arm/Leg
leg (kinam) / foot (B)
- Does "kinam" include the feet, like e. g. Japanese "ashi" does? Or is there a separate term for "foot"?
upper arm (vs) forearm / upper leg [thigh] (vs) lower leg (B)
hand (A)
finger (zekwä) (C)
- What are the names for the four fingers of the Na'vi-hand?
nails (of fingers/toes) (A)

- Are there basic terms for the various bones? 'skull'/'head bone', 'spine', 'chest-bones'?
Na'vi specials

- Are the paired animal queues the same word as Na'vi queues?
bioluminescent freckle ()
