[lojban-beginners] Re: trying to make a name

[Lindar <lindarthebard@yahoo.com>]

So... it would be...

la .mivytcan.

Pronounced like "lah . MEEV-uh-chahn"

i always like the vowel in "leave"
y is the "uhh" sound like in American "about" or "uhhhh..." like when
you've got your mouth hanging open and don't know what to say.
a is always like 'father' and never like 'hat'.

However... these are name-words. They don't -actually- mean anything
(they don't have a definition), they just have a user-recognised
meaning because they're made up of two rafsi. Actual lujvo have to end
in a vowel (as well as follow a million other crazy rules). So
{la .mivnir.} and {la .mivytcan.} both have absolutely no meaning and
are names. However, anybody that speaks Lojban will probably recognise
the rafsi and assign it some kind of meaning anyway.

mivnir = alive-nerve
mivytcan = alive-network

"Living Nerve" or "Living Network"

=\
