Hi.
I'm new to studying lojban, and am working my way through "Lojban for
beginners"

I have a few questions already.

First, is how to spell my name. I know the English spelling doesn't give a
lot of clues (it's a Hebrew name). It's pronounced as two syllables, the
first is like "Yo" in yonder, the second "av" as in the first syllable of
"avril" in Spanish. I'm guessing that ioav won't cut it because of the three
consecutive vowels, so should it be io,av. Also am I supposed to capitalize
the second syllable (io,AV) to show where the stress is every time, or is
that optional?

Second, I've read that lojban names have to end in a consonant, so if they
don't, we add one.  My question is, do we pronounce the 's' in la meiris ?

Third, I've seen that  the apostrophe is used to make an 'h' sound, whereas
the h character is not used.  Why is that?  Why didn't the inventors of
lojban (or does it date back to loglan?) simply use an h for the h sound?

That's it for now.  I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go on.

mi'e io,AV
