Someone with a name like that would, of course, in Lojban, have a quite distinctive name, which was my point -- also rather obliquely. That is, {paVOson REnanc} is not likely to be confused with {pavosoREnanc} -- or it should not be. The use with {ca} or {ca'o} or whatever time operator you use would also count against this (though it could mean "during the lifetime of" apparently). I still don't see the point, unless it is just that using year names is yucky, which I agree with (for all they are convenient). --part1_f5.f495e53.28d52850_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 9/15/2001 4:04:17 PM Central Daylight Time, rob@twcny.rr.com writes:

I wish you'd mentioned that you were unlojbanizing, since the rest was lojbanized, I asssume dthat this was meant to be too.  Someone with a name like that would, of course, in Lojban, have a quite distinctive name, which was my point -- also rather obliquely.  That is, {paVOson REnanc} is not likely to be confused with {pavosoREnanc} -- or it should not be.  The use with {ca} or {ca'o} or whatever time operator you use would also count against this (though it could mean "during the lifetime of" apparently).  I still don't see the point, unless it is just that using year names is yucky, which I agree with (for all they are convenient). --part1_f5.f495e53.28d52850_boundary--
