I was not arguing against American English but pointing out that
{blog} is a justifiable lojbanization of the English word "blog".


>=C2=A0 How is "blog" pronounced in China, India, Brazil, Nigeria?

According to Wiktionary etc., "blog" is pronounced/translated as:

=E5=8D=9A=E5=AE=A2 | b=C3=B3k=C3=A8, =E9=83=A8=E8=90=BD=E6=A0=BC | b=C3=B9l=
u=C3=B2g=C3=A9, =E5=8D=9A=E8=90=BD | b=C3=B3lu=C3=B2 (Chinese)
=E0=A4=AC=E0=A5=8D=E0=A4=B2=E0=A5=8B=E0=A4=97 | blog (Hindi)
blog (Portuguese)
blog (Hausa)

Farsi, where the rounded [o] and [=C9=92] are valid phonemes, adopted the
unrounded American pronunciation: =D8=A8=D9=84=D8=A7=DA=AF | bl=C4=81g  .


> {prekarni} sounds fine to me!

It does to me too. In fact, I would very much prefer {prekarni} to {me
la blog} or {blo'ogo}.
