Chinese has 网络 (wangluo, "net-connection"), 電網 (dianwang, "electric-net"), and 互联网 (hulianwang, "mutually-joined-net"). (Japanese and Korean simply transliterate "internet" as インターネット (intaanetto) and 인터넷 (intanet) respectively.) If {la internet} is fine, also a fu'ivla like {interneto} should be fine. > How about {kauseltcana} ? (You need "r" after "kau".) "lo seltcana" is already a common thing among "lo tcana", so "kau-" doesn't add much to it. Maybe "kaurlu'a" ("kampu pluta", common path) or "kaurxelbe'i" ("kampu xe benji", common transmission-means). > global network - there's no really need to carry > that "sam" for computer everywhere, because it's pretty obvious what network > is global.
