Also, English "j/dg" should be Lojban "dj" not "dz". This seems to be a systematic error throughout the list. Why no "z" in Arizona? In general, I agree with Brian Gottlieb's emendations. In most cases, Lojban "e" is traditional for AmEng /&/ (the "a" of "cat"); this feature dates back to Loglan days, with some exceptions ("Ann" = ".an.", not ".en.".) Also, Charleston WV is "tcar,l,stn. baigad. .uestvrdjinias." to avoid confusion with Charleston SC. :-) Likewise "nu,rk" NJ vs. "nuARK" DE. -- John Cowan sharing account for now e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
