[lojban] Re: cmene for Los Angeles



Having lived there, I can attest to the native pronunciation.
Cos I don't know IPA, the "IH" sound (as in FISH) will be a capital Q (cos I looks like L) and "A" as in "hat" will be a capital A.
{lasAndjylQs}
So... in Lojban the closes approximation is {elei} or {lasandjeles} I think....

Subject: [lojban] cmene for Los Angeles


I would appreciate it if our US lojbanists help 
sort this out.

For Los Angeles, I've seen  
{losandjylys} and { 
losandjeles}.  Yet any time I hear Americans 
say it, the s is hard and 
the last syllable is drawn out as in eee.
 
So it seems to me that the closest to local pronunciation 
would be {lozandjylis}.
 
Comments please.
