In a discussion on another mailing list, the topic of Lojban has come
up in passing; and, as the closest thing on that list to an expert
(which isn't all that close), I was asked what the Lojban for three
phrases was: "Watch out for the bus", "Call an ambulance", and "Call
his cryonics company".

I can figure out the first two with only moderate effort (eg, "ckape!
.i sorprema'e!" sounds about right); but the third involves a concept
that I haven't found any existing translation for, and I haven't
managed to figure out a decent lujvo for. It's even trickier if I try
to come up with a word which would be as accurate as possible to the
beliefs of those who actually have signed up for cryonics with a hope
of a non-zero chance of eventual revival (Whether or not that belief
is justified isn't my concern at the moment, merely trying to properly
express it.), which makes mrori'i seem less appropriate to use as an
inspiration.

Might you be able to offer any suggestions?


Thank you for your time,
