I've used {kardamomu} for cardamom and was thinking of {vandula} for lavender (take the genus name and the "la" falls off). {larvanda} is a lujvo, so I wouldn't use it unless I could figure out what {vanda} means. {marjorana} sounds better than {majrana}, which is what I was thinking. What about oregano? phma -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa
