Hello, Hal!  I'm {xongos.djun.itciros.}, but it's too long!
Please call me {djun.}.

HF> A grammar and a grammar?? You have mistyped something surely.

Yes, I must study Lojban grammar in this page and I must study
Lojban grammar in that page...

HF> This is my favorite link:
HF> 
HF>    http://ptolemy.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/lojbanbrochure/lessons/book1.html

This is easier to understand than the Red Book.  Thank you!

HF> I have learned much more from this than from the red book. To me,
HF> the red book is more like a reference than a tutorial.

The YACC Grammar of Lojban is very interesting.  Yes, the red
book is a reference manual of Lojban's architecture.

HF> But the capitalization of the family name is not done in Lojban.
HF> Capital letters are rare, and usually only indicate stress on a
HF> syllable where it would not normally be stressed (such as a name).

Yes, I know.  And Japanese language has no stress accent but a
pitch accent.

HF> There are other choices altogether. For example, you could take
HF> the meaning of your name in your native language (if it has a
HF> meaning) and translate it, then base the Lojban name on that.
HF> 
HF> You could also make up a new name entirely. I considered something
HF> like {sidbos.}, roughly, "the thinker." (If I am not too wrong.)

But it's a only new handle, isn't it?
