Cos I don't know IPA, the "IH" sound (as in FISH) will be a capital Q (cos I looks like L) and "A" as in "hat" will be a capital A. {lasAndjylQs} So... in Lojban the closes approximation is {elei} or {lasandjeles} I think.... ----- Original Message ---- From: A. PIEKARSKI To: lojban-list@lojban.org Sent: Tuesday, July 7, 2009 7:29:00 AM Subject: [lojban] cmene for Los Angeles I would appreciate it if our US lojbanists help sort this out. For Los Angeles, I've seen {losandjylys} and { losandjeles}. Yet any time I hear Americans say it, the s is hard and the last syllable is drawn out as in eee. So it seems to me that the closest to local pronunciation would be {lozandjylis}.
