It's true that the a sound in your name doesn't exist in Lojban. The closest you can get is {a}. {bradli} is a good lojbanization, except that names cannot end with vowels. Most people add an {s} to the end of the word to make it a proper cmene: {bradlis.}. HTH, -- Benjamin D. Esham { http://bdesham.net bdesham@iname.com } AIM: bdesham 1 2 8
