I really like this idea. I know that there aren't supposed to be these kinds of restrictions on cmene, but it seems that you could turn these names into lujvo by adding an 'i'. This works for most of them, but in two cases a cmavo falls off: 'le rusmasti' -> 'le ru smasti' -> 'the silent-cease of earlier sumti' 'le najmasti' -> 'le na jmasti' -> 'not foot-ish-cease' Should these be 'rusymast.' and 'najymast.' instead? -- Rob Speer
