I didn't understand why not la lojbau and la lojbaugri, which are the 'official' lujvo. But now I realized, that since la constructs must end with a consonant and pause, the 'longer' lujvo was chosen. My question, is if this method is standard for building names? Would the Israeli Lojban Group be {la brojbogirz.} ?
