English is (in Lojban transcription -- I can't
produce or read whatever these marks are) /seint
pitrsbrg/ more or less (this is almost surely not
a legitimate Lojban name).  The Lojban name
should be as close as possible to the native
name, so, I gather /maskfa/ (with some consonant
on the end) or is it more /moskfa/ (with the
lower "aw" /o/)(sorry about not allowing /kv/,
which many languages have)?  Is the native name
of the other place really Saint Petersburg or is
it Petrograd, which would introduce a whole other
set of issues?
And how widely variant are the dialects of the
two cities (we should follow the local one, I
suppose)?
