I've just started learning lojban, but i'd say it could be something like (la) xirlit. My 'dutch colonial last name 'kleinmoedig' (littlebrave) inspired me to lojbanize it as cmavirn (or vricmal?) as it is unclear wether my ancestor at the time slavery was abolished in our island (Curacao, southern Caribbean) was either small and courageous, or had little courage. of course I prefer the first. Comments welcome] I've been reading messages for two months now, and this was the first I felt comfortable to react on. I am revamping my knowledge about logic right now and it is such a joy to find a language in which words can be found for every concept my mind construes. But I'm even more excited by the beauty of lojban utterances and it's poetic potential.
