Hi all,

A total newbie here. Well, I've done some reading and I know=
a little bit of grammar and a handful of gismu.

One thing I'm wo= ndering about is how to lojbanise my name
(Hal Fulton). I've considered = several cmene:

   la 'al        = (acceptable?)
   la xal      &n= bsp;  (an alternative, I guess)
   la 'al.fultyn &nb= sp;(first and last)
   la 'al.soki'os (HAL 9000)


Pl= ease offer feedback...

Cheers,
Hal
