About the name of planets, I think the naming them by= numbers could work only if the structure of the solar system is known by e= veryone. {pavyplini} or {plini.xipa} (the . is mandatory since {plinixipa} = might be mistaken for a fu'ivla) could work. In fact, jbovlaste already= has {pavyplini} and friends.

That said, I don't like this naming scheme very much,=A0 I'd li= ke to have some cmene for planets in our solar system. I would be tempted t= o use the greek/latin names as basis but I would really like to have someon= e who could inject some Arabic or Chinese into it.

Our moon has already a lojban word {lunra} that m= eans "x₁ is a major natural satellite/moon of planet x_=
2" (by default our Moon). Jbovlaste also offers a word (a fu'= ;ivla) for a generic satellite: {mluni} "x₁ is a satellite/= moon orbiting x₂".

If you like the numbering scheme probably {lunra.xivore} could be the s= econd moon of Mars. What I don't really like of using numbers is that i= t assumes a precise knowledge of the entire system: which moon of Jupiter i= s Io ?

A carbon nanotube could be a {navtabytu'u} an= d a space elevator a {kensa galgau}.

For the asterorid be= lts, I would try {plinyspi djine} (ring of planet fragments).

Lastly (take it "cum grano salis") {lo nundoifli cu mibysnad= ygau} for "your failure makes my success.

I feel the easiest way to name planets is by numbering them outwards f= rom the system center-So what would the first planet, second, third, fourth= , fifth planets be called in this system?

What is lojban for asteriod belt?

Our Moon would probably be described as "major natural satellite = of planet three"-how would that be translated=A0 and finally
