Daeldir is not my real name (yes, you guessed right :-P). It's an alias I c=
reated from nothing when I was young.

However, in my head, Daeldir means something. I always associated those sou=
nds with =E2=80=9Cwalk beneath the moon=E2=80=9D, or =E2=80=9Cwalking in th=
e moonlight=E2=80=9D (google translate gave me that last one ;-)).

And I like the idea of having a meaningful name in lojban, like native amer=
icans do.=20

So, to train myself in speaking lojban, I tried to translate that meaning i=
n lojban.

First, how I would explain this meaning in lojban:

{lo nu ma kau cnita lo lunra cu cadzu}
 =E2=86=92 =E2=80=9CThe one (I know who) that is under the moon, walk=E2=80=
=9D

Using a tanru:

{lunra cnita cadzu}
 =E2=86=92 walk kind of (under kind of moon)
 =E2=86=92 Something that walk, in an =E2=80=9Cunder=E2=80=9D maneer, and t=
he =E2=80=9Cunder=E2=80=9D as something to do with the moon

Which would give the following lujvo:

{lurni'adzu}

Finally, while my name now has a meaning, I want it to be a name: it means =
something, but what it means is not what I am, it's just a label. So, I wou=
ld turn it into a cmevla:=20

{.lurni'adzus.} or (which I prefer) {.lurni'adz.}

I didn't read the wave lessons all the way, yet. But I feel I can begin to =
express some meanings, I can =E2=80=9Cbaby talk=E2=80=9D.

The reason I post it there is that I want to =E2=80=9Cexercise=E2=80=9D mys=
elf. I need someone that can criticize my work. Having the lessons is not s=
ufficient to know if what I do, I do wrong.

The three question I'm wondering about are:

Is {lo nu ma kau cnita lo lunra cu cadzu} a good =E2=80=9Cexplanation=E2=80=
=9D of the meaning of my name?

Is {lurni'adzu} a valid lujvo, and is it ok to make a lujvo not for words, =
but to create =E2=80=9Cmeaningful names=E2=80=9D?

Finally, have you any suggestions for improving my sentences/words, keeping=
 in mind I'm for now at a really low level in Lojban?

mu'o mi'e la .daeldir.

Or,

mu'o mi'e la .lurni'adz.
