They are doing different jobs. A microphone converts sound to an electr(on)ic signal. A megaphone amplifies sound. > I'm not enthusiastic about any of your suggestions, > though {selylauca'a} seems the best for the job. I like {tinca'a} most, and {selylau[r?]ca'a} least. (Is an "r" needed between "lau" and "ca'a"?) I don't see that {cladu} has anything to do with microphones. For "megaphone", something like: laurgau (cladu gasnu): g1 (g2=nu cladu) c1 c2 c3 x1 causes x2 to be loud at obs. point x3 by standard x4 laurgaurca'a (cladu gasnu cabra): ca1=g1 (ca2=nu laurgau) cl1 cl2 cl3 ca3 x1 is an apparatus that causes x2 to be loud at x3 by standard x4, controlled by x5 co'o mi'e xorxes
