Re: [lojban] Translating "as"

[selpa'i <seladwa@gmx.de>]

Bump.

Just now, I found myself needing this construction yet again:

xu zo menli do melbi [as a name]
Do you like "menli" as a name?

I don't think solutions such as "xu zo menli do melbi va'o lo nu cmene" 
are good enough, especially since it does not properly generalize.

Any other ideas?
