It is illegal unless _preceded_ by a consonant, AFAIK. > This probably leaves me two choices - {laylun} or {lylun}. I > like the first better, is it legal? ({ay} is probably awful for > most people to pronounce, I think it'd sound like something > between american "uh" and "ah" with the correct accent) I think laylun is illegal, so that would leave you with "lylu?" (replace ? with any consonant you are comfortable with). Also, I would stress Lalo as LAlo and not laLO, so should this be the case with your name, writing it as LYlun may be preferable since "y" doesn't take stress by default. > I'd also like to have a lojbanized version of my IRC nickname - > Bastet - but not literally (cmene-ly).

Anyone wants to suggest a lujvo for that? cat person mlatu/lat + prenu/pre mix and stir, add spices according to taste. ;-) My mind keeps on suggesting "la mlatupren." as a lujvo-based name but I haven't yet worked through the lujvo-making rules to see if this is correct. Anyone? Bye, -- Daniel "Gudy" Gudlat d.gudlat@rpluss.com No one pays me enough to speak for them, so I only speak for myself.
