I am /very/ happy with what I read in your post, and I expect to adopt
most of it. :) (Once I have a good set of words to use, I'll be
running them through TengScribe to put them in the character's
preferred orthography, and then, once I work out a decent
presentation, putting up a webpage with the full calendar.)

I just ran all the words you proposed through an online Lojbanic
translator ( http://www.lojban.org/jboski/index.php ), to make sure
they followed proper word-formation rules, but a few of them came up
with errors.


> * Armstrong Day      ->  {armstrongydj}   -> {ayrydy}
> * Aldrin Day         ->  {aldrinydj}      -> {aylydy}

For these two, the long form seems fine, but the short form doesn't
quite seem to work. Fortunately, each of these days only occurs once
every year (or every four years), so I can probably get away with just
the long form, if need be.

I'm not really sure why the translator rejected this one.

> lavuasierym

The translator was trying to interpret 'la' separately from
'vuasierym', meaning this string isn't unambiguously a single word.


I'm now 95% towards my goal for this stage - now I just have to re-
read the rules on Lojbannic word-formation to see if I can figure out
how to fix the words. (Of course, if somebody wants to post fixes
before I figure it out myself, I'm perfectly willing to work with
that. :)  )
