ight :-P). It's an alias I created from nothing when I was young.
<br>
<br>However, in my head, Daeldir means something. I always associated those=
 sounds with =E2=80=9Cwalk beneath the moon=E2=80=9D, or =E2=80=9Cwalking i=
n the moonlight=E2=80=9D (google translate gave me that last one ;-)).
<br>
<br>And I like the idea of having a meaningful name in lojban, like native =
americans do.=20
<br>
<br>So, to train myself in speaking lojban, I tried to translate that meani=
ng in lojban.
<br>
<br>First, how I would explain this meaning in lojban:
<br>
<br>{lo nu ma kau cnita lo lunra cu cadzu}
<br>&nbsp;=E2=86=92 =E2=80=9CThe one (I know who) that is under the moon, w=
alk=E2=80=9D
<br>
<br>Using a tanru:
<br>
<br>{lunra cnita cadzu}
<br>&nbsp;=E2=86=92 walk kind of (under kind of moon)
<br>&nbsp;=E2=86=92 Something that walk, in an =E2=80=9Cunder=E2=80=9D mane=
er, and the =E2=80=9Cunder=E2=80=9D as something to do with the moon
<br>
<br>Which would give the following lujvo:
<br>
<br>{lurni'adzu}
<br>
<br>Finally, while my name now has a meaning, I want it to be a name: it me=
ans something, but what it means is not what I am, it's just a label. So, I=
 would turn it into a cmevla:=20
<br>
<br>{.lurni'adzus.} or (which I prefer) {.lurni'adz.}
<br>
<br>I didn't read the wave lessons all the way, yet. But I feel I can begin=
 to express some meanings, I can =E2=80=9Cbaby talk=E2=80=9D.
<br>
<br>The reason I post it there is that I want to =E2=80=9Cexercise=E2=80=9D=
 myself. I need someone that can criticize my work. Having the lessons is n=
ot sufficient to know if what I do, I do wrong.
<br>
<br>The three question I'm wondering about are:
<br>
<br>Is {lo nu ma kau cnita lo lunra cu cadzu} a good =E2=80=9Cexplanation=
=E2=80=9D of the meaning of my name?
<br>
<br>Is {lurni'adzu} a valid lujvo, and is it ok to make a lujvo not for wor=
ds, but to create =E2=80=9Cmeaningful names=E2=80=9D?
<br>
<br>Finally, have you any suggestions for improving my sentences/words, kee=
ping in mind I'm for now at a really low level in Lojban?
<br>
<br>mu'o mi'e la .daeldir.
<br>
<br>Or,
<br>
<br>mu'o mi'e la .lurni'adz.
