navi1-7  Exercise 3: "Has" Without "To Have"
============================================

A sample answer.

Na'vi: lu poru tstxo
  verb:    lu   "to be"
  owner:   poru = po (she/he) + the dative ending -ru, "to her/him"
  thing:   tstxo
  Literally "a name is to her."

English: has a verb "to have" ("she has a name"), and the owner is the
subject.

The difference: English makes the owner the subject of an action-like verb.
Na'vi makes the thing the subject of "to be" and puts the owner in the
dative, as the person it belongs to. The same pattern appears in many
languages that have no verb "to have".
