I picked "Walking Bear" because it was the first Native
American name that I could think of; of course, I realized
almost simultaneously that I was inspired by that episode of
Star Trek. =A0Then, I decided to see if I could translate it;
with my current knowledge, I could only do so if both parts
were gismu, and they were; but then upon seeing that "bear" was "cribe", I remembered that there was a reference to an author
named Greg Bear in the chapter on articles. =A0It talks about
"la cribe pu finti le lisri" being reasonably possibly true and points out that there is a author named "Greg Bear";
"le cribe pu finti le lisri" _could_ possibly be true if the
speaker is sufficiently peculiar about what they are calling a
bear; but "lo cribe pu finti le lisri" could never be true.

But I didn't have in mind that port of the book when I thought
of "Walking Bear".

Something just occurred to me: I did the same. =A0I wanted to be
named some Lojbanization of "Phoenix", but I didn't like any = of
the possible Lojbanizations that I could think of; so I thought
of a tanru for Phoenix, "fagri cipni", "fire-bird", fro= m the
myth of the Phoenix burning itself on a pyre and being reborn
from the ashes of its former self; indeed, that was why I chose
to use the username "phoenix" on several discussion boards.
