Pronounced like "lah . MEEV-uh-chahn" i always like the vowel in "leave" y is the "uhh" sound like in American "about" or "uhhhh..." like when you've got your mouth hanging open and don't know what to say. a is always like 'father' and never like 'hat'. However... these are name-words. They don't -actually- mean anything (they don't have a definition), they just have a user-recognised meaning because they're made up of two rafsi. Actual lujvo have to end in a vowel (as well as follow a million other crazy rules). So {la .mivnir.} and {la .mivytcan.} both have absolutely no meaning and are names. However, anybody that speaks Lojban will probably recognise the rafsi and assign it some kind of meaning anyway. mivnir = alive-nerve mivytcan = alive-network "Living Nerve" or "Living Network" =\ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
