The genus name means {matnytsi}, which is phonetically close to {mapnytsi}, {matlytsi}, and the as yet undefined {mantytsi}. There is no law against lujvo minimal pairs, but they can be confusing, e.g. {noltroni'u} the Duchess (in Alice) and {noltruni'u} the Queen. Another potentially confusing pair is {mantyslami} and {matnyslami}. The other option is fu'ivla: {matnrcetulu}, {ricrcetulu}, {tsijrcetulu}, or {matnrkarite}, {ricrkarite}, {tsijrkarite}, What do you think is better? phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman.
