I have not yet seen an answer in any of the resources that I have encountered. One of my children has a name that starts with an 'H'. As near as I can tell, the only use of this sound in Lojban is the apostrophe to separate two vowels. What, then are the most common approaches for handling this situation when converting names? Thank you, Donald
