[lojban-beginners] creatively bent?



Heyas.

I am writing a short story and, if you're of a mind to help me stick in a
few lojban tidbits, I'd appreciate the assistance.

1)  A pet, which I originally wanted to name "cloud farter" or "fart cloud"
was rendered as ladilpan because I could not find a word for fart.
Etymology was dilnu pensi.  If there's an already constructed lujvo (or
gismu I could not find) for "fart" or if I have missed something
significant, I'd like to know.  The "creature species name" for this pet is
currently "smisfi" from smani sfani-- it is a winged monkeyish humanoid.

2) A genetically-engineered chimerical sub-species of homo sapiens have
chosen a name for themselves based on their love of learning.  Currently,
this is Nelpei (or possibly nelpensi) from nelci pensi -- comments or
suggestions no matter how whimsical are welcome.  These beings have a
"hard-wired" instinctual understanding of lojban, but don't get too enamored
of them: they view themselves as the next step up the evolutionary ladder,
and they're not altogether convinced that humankind shouldn't become extinct
sooner than later.

3) sharp little appliances for the fingers to turn hands into claws:
ba'eja'u  (etymology notes got eaten by a grue)

4) doll?  I can't find "doll," but I can find "fellatio" and "role-playing
game system."  Go figure.

5) zbaxum -- a miniature chemical processing and Virus/RNA/DNA manipulation
tool from zbasu xukmi

6) klikwings en->lojban ?  (a small hopping/flying creature with chitinous
wings that makes clicking sounds for mating calls

7) steppes / arid plains  en->lojban ?

8) people who end wars / noble warriors / warriors of the heart / those who
suffer from war the most...  Like 1) above, but these folks are the ones who
are saddened by the destruction they were created to bring about.  They are
actually more like jesus/buddha/mohammed than warriors, and especially so
when among their own.  From the perspective of humankind--who are animals in
the eyes of the warriors--the warrior's philosophy is relatively
unimportant.   en->lojban ?
8) people who were not designed by the creator guy (more of a devilish human
than a god, if ya catch mah drift)  en->lojban ?

Thanks in advance for any aid.
