Turtle Island is a Native name for America. What's a hair-plant

I've heard that but it seems unlikely, since it presupposes they knew it was
an island, which is rather unlikely.  But OK, but where is the Island part
(you have {danlu} "animal", not {daplu} -- welcome to typing class; I'm in my
47th year).  
What hair-plant?  did I say something about one? or is this a question about
how to say it (and, if so why?) and do you mean like a plug for baldness
treatment or do you mean a vegetable with hairiness somehow?  Ahah!  The y is
needed in {cakyrespa} ala tosmabru -- I never get that rule right! (Actually,
I never remember to check that rule at all, it being one of the major
inelegances left over from JCB's great morphological revolution that Lojban
was never able to correct).

<canji ki'a?>  {canja} I wish I could plead typing, but this is just
interference from some other stage of the language.
