Hi all,

A total newbie here. Well, I've done some reading and I know
a little bit of grammar and a handful of gismu.

One thing I'm wondering about is how to lojbanise my name
(Hal Fulton). I've considered several cmene:

   la 'al         (acceptable?)
   la xal         (an alternative, I guess)
   la 'al.fultyn  (first and last)
   la 'al.soki'os (HAL 9000)


Please offer feedback...

Cheers,
Hal
