Once a teacher, always a teacher

Yesterday evening my Na'vi student and I came on Teamspeak (group speak) again.
She was very happy because lessons help her. Yesterday evening we talked about the infix <iv>.
There are two meanings to <iv>, and you can use "iv" often in the Na'vi language.

Examples:
Oe hivahaw. (I may/might sleep.) Here to 'iv' is the meaning "I don't know, maybe".
Oe tsun hivahaw. (I am able to sleep.) Here to 'iv' is the meaning "I know this".
Oe tsivun hivahaw. (I may be able to sleep.) Here to 'iv' is the meaning "I know this but I am not sure that I can (now)"

See - <iv> is fun!
