So either use the correct rafsi, or don't say that it's a combination of two words in Lojban, because that's how the convention works. So your dude's name is either "garnan" and it has absolutely no meaning in Lojban, or his name is handrail-south and it doesn't make any sense at all. Like my name for example. My name is actually "Lindar" in English. People tend to think either it's "Linda" and I've lojbanised it by adding an R, or it's linsi zei darno if they look into the meaning with the assumption that it's another jvocme. That's just how the naming convention works. So, feel free to stick with Garnan (it's a nifty-sounding name), but don't expect anybody to get the pun, because it doesn't exist due to the fact that the component selrafsi are garna (guard-rail/hand-rail) and snanu (south), not grana (stick) and nanmu (male), which would be ga'arnau. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
