Yes there are harder cases than spaghetti to Lojbanize, either because of
consonant endings, or non-Lojbanic sounds, or whatever.  In the case of
schooner, a quick trip to the dictionary tells me to make it a lujvo -
a 2-pole-sail-boat, since thats eems to be the definition of "schooner" as a
boat (if it is more specific, I might add up to two more terms before going
to a fu'ivla other than for nonce use, since outside the USA, probably
noo one will know what a "schooner" is anyway - it is flagged as an Americanism
in my dictionary - maybe a merko-2-pole-sail-boat 1/2 %^)
