"meri" isn't a name, since all names in Lojban end in a consonant. "la meri" is grammatical, but unlikely, since "ri" refers to the last sumti - it would be like using "He" as a name. As to "la tam.", it's probably the way the writer pronounced "Tom". phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman. ------------------------ Yahoo!
