Lojban doesn't mark names by capitalization, which is used to indicate stress, although rarely (usually acute accent marks are used). Thus {Ucauricu'um} is stressed on the first 'u' (which is okay if that's how you say it), and {Zurzulapitcis} is not Lojban, despite it following {la}. 

Neither of those statements are technically true. Accent instead of capitalization is an accepted though not officially indoctrinated means of marking stress, and marking non-standard stress /at all/ is so rare a thing that "usually" is rather difficult to provide evidence for.

Secondly, saying that a word following la isn't a name merely because it contains a capitalized initial is rather more an opinion than a fact, as camxes is perfectly fine with it.
