    questions:

    is nutx NFP like flì?

    what is the For People version of flì?
    If nutx is NFP, then what is its For People counterpart?

    i was hoping youd make a post! ;D It seems you have been quite busy. Thanks for making time to post this.

      Kxawm mesari ayoel kivin melì’uti. Either that or Na’vi doesn’t have those concepts. Nìngay ke omum, the grammar questions are the real ones that seek answers.

      Anyways, faylì’uri irayo ngengaru nìtxan nìfrakrr ma Karyu Pawl 🙂
