[lojban-beginners] Moon River

[Matt Arnold <mattarn@123.net>]

 While we're on the topic of names, suppose I wish to address Moon River (which incidentally is wider than a mile), to tell the river that I am determined to eventually cross it in style.
 Let's not answer all the challenges in that sentence at one time. First, the name. Of course it's not really a lunar river. So it seems that a tanru, {doi lunra rirxe} is not what I'm looking for. {doi la lunra rirxe} would be a name, "moon river," but that seems to overlook the fact that it's not just named "river", it really is a river. I guess I want to say "O river 'moon'!" but I would not want to be wordy and say {doi rirxe poi zo lunra cmene ke'a} "Oh river, specifically such that "lunar" is the name of it!"
