Out >of names and y'y, however, it makes sense to ban it. I never liked it. Ideally for me names should not deviate from the morphology of ordinary words. I avoid "y" in names unless it is used to break an impermissible cluster. I think h-sounds should be lojbanized as "x" in names, not as "'", but that's just my preferrence. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
