If it's going to be pronounced by people who don't know Lojban, a lot of them 
will get "mivnir" right and "mivytcan" wrong. I have a project 
called "mumzel". It is "mumyzel" in Lojban, and is so called because the 
structure is based on five and seven; but I take the 'y' out when referring 
to it in English. (I don't know what I'd do if I spoke Welsh. Welsh has 'y' 
sounding as in Lojban, but no letter 'z'; the sound may be an allophone 
of 's'.)
