Sources

I have sourced every word as best as I could. This sourcing is placed in a subscript after the IPAtranscription, and tells where I, or the source from which I received a word, initially got theirword from Frommer. In early March, Frommer sent us a list of words which he had: these arethe definitive source now, and not the ASG. Some words are not present in that list, but havebeen confirmed by Frommer if they are here. Words that are modified by unproductive affixesare included here if Frommer has used them: words that have a modified semantic meaningdue to a productive affix have also been included likewise. In order of canonicity, from mostto least:

• PF = Paul Frommer• M = The Movie• JC = James Cameron• G = the Avatar Games• ASG = The Survival Guide
