A > few too many l's there. any solutions? Well, for one thing, the 'll' definitely doesn't work in Lojban. You'd need to separate them with a y. Putting this into jvocuhadju (jbofihe's lujvo-generating program) gives the result of 'jilylivla', but that's because ordinary lujvo can't end in a vowel, so presumably 'jilylil' would be the acceptable form for a name. Of course, that still has the annoying l's. How about putting dikca (electric) after jilka? That'd give you 'jildic'. -- Rob Speer
