Bringing up an 'oldie' but I thought it neat:

Nick Nicholas uses samclupa (skami clupa - computer-type-of-loop) for
an equivalent concept of Internet... I would prefer la .internet. only
because "this is the name we use to describe the thing" otherwise it
would be lo samclupa wouldn't it? or even loi, or even lo'i.

feedback much appreciated
