Really I'm starting to think I'm the only one who post anything anymore..anyway I was reading a peice of "Na'vi in a nutshell" by NeotrrekerZ and it says...
The suffix -yu is attached to a verb in order to form a noun representing the person who performs the verb:
to hunt taron → taronyu hunter (literally, one who hunts)to weave täftxu → täftxuyu weaver (one who weaves)
The suffix-tu attaches to a noun to mean the person who does/makes the noun, similar to the way -yu
works on verbs:
visual art reltseo → reltseotu artist (one who makes visual art) part hapxì → hapxìtu member
This is a bit confusing to me...Can you mix tu and yu up..like for instance it gives the example 'reltseo' or Art turns into reltseotu or Artist. Now why couldn't I turn 'reltseo' into 'reltseoyu'? I guess what I'm asking is what is the real difference between these two, and can they be used interchangeably? I just don't get it.
