However, I'd like to know if there are reasonable ways of getting
around the issue with using a tanru as a name.  I think that they can
be used after la by putting ku at the end of the name.  However, I
know that the vocatives also take names; and I don't know if it is
even _possible_ to use a tanru as a name after a vocative, and if it
is then how complex is the mechanism for doing so.

.i coi doi fagri cipni
hello, fire bird
 
.i do .e'a tanru se cmene
you may be tanru named
 
.i mi ji'a tanru se cmene
I am also tanru named

mi'e stela se ckiku
I'm "stela se ckiku"
 
.i la fagri cipni la stela se ckiku ku simsa lo ka tanru se cmene
"fagri cipni" and "stela se ckiku" are similar in their quality of being tanru named

to mi pilno zo ku mu'i lo nu mupli .i zo cu ji'a .e'a se pilno toi
(I used "ku" as an example; "cu" also may be used.)
 
.i fi'i la fagri cipni ku noi .o'a dai tanru se cmene
Welcome, Fire Bird, who is (pride!) tanru named!
