Or in your case whatever pronunciation you would use. So, you would write it using your native Russian pronunciation and I using my native English pronunciation (adding an "s" on the end). The thing with pronunciation is it differs from place to place even within a country. Take for example the Englsih city of Bath. Even in England there are 4 differnet ways to pronounce it. ----- Original Message ---- From: Мария Карманова To: lojban-beginners@lojban.org Sent: Saturday, 5 January, 2008 11:00:04 AM Subject: [lojban-beginners] towns and countries 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? ___________________________________________________________ NEW Yahoo!
