[lojban-beginners] Spelling "Alan" in lojban?
[I appologize if you see this twice, I'm not certain it properly
sent the first time.]
I am reading through the level0 brochure, and I think I have
gathered enough information to spell my first name (Alan) in
lojban.
Given that cmene cannot have the word "la" in it[1], and reading
over the pronunciation guide[2], I think the closest spelling and
pronunciation in Lojban of "Alan" is "Alyn.".
This accounts for the stress of the first syllable instead of the
last, and sounds about right when I pronounce it: "/AH,luhn/"
How did I do? Is there a closer approximation?
Thank you!
-Alyn.
