I've figured it out: la daliblamas. Tibetan spelling is as conklepated as 
English or French or Gaelic, and the word "lama" is spelled with a silent 
'b'. {pancenlamas} does not need the 'b', and the 't' drops out because of a 
Lojban spelling rule. la tenzin.giatsoz. ca me la daliblamas.

According to the list on Wikipedia, all but the first Dalai Lama had the last 
name "Gyatso". How come? "Tenzing" appears to be a common name on both sides 
of the Himalayas (another famous Tenzing climbed Mount Everest with Hillary); 
what's it mean, and where did it come from?
