Hello!

My name is Mari, I study lojban since December. But English is my third language after Russian and German, so I have a question: when I lojbanize a name of a country or a town, what pronounsation schould i use as base? For example, Moscow can be la moskou., but when I translate from Russian it can be la moskwAs. And Russia: la racas. or la rosIas?
