I chose "fagri cipni" because of the myth of the "Phoenix". That was
because it symbolizes the hope that I can return to the better "good"
life {I once had}. Why did you choose the name "stela se ckiku". {end

"key-opened lock" doesn't seem to have obvious significance to me, to
me. Though, I'll admit that "fire bird" doesn't have any obvious
significance to anyone unfamiliar with the legend of the Phoenix. A
perhaps better explanation (in English, though) is at
http://fagricipni.livejournal.com/362.html ; there is one error of
understanding the rule of consonant cluster in the first 5 letters of
brivla in that page, unfortunately -- That will have to be fixed,
eventually.
On can also see in my Lojban message above that I am still having
trouble with the new gadri.
