Names do not need to match lujvo making rules, except in avoiding illegal
consonant clusters. mlatupren would be an good name, but not a good lujvo,
since you cannot drop the final vowel. But the optimal form would I think
be latpre[n] with the 'n' added for the name-form.
For the lujvo, I might use latjolpre (mlatu joi prenu), (in preference to
binxo) but I would be more inclined to use remna instead of prenu, because
my cats, while not in the least human/werecats are already prenu.
