Stage 1

 * Starting with
 * Simply add (Lojban) quotes around it.

Stage 2

 * Starting with
 * Conversion to a Lojbanized name:
 * Removing silent letters.
 * Removing double consonants (like "butt" to "but")
 * Making sure it ends in a consonant. The Lojban Reference Manual suggests adding "s" or "n", but "s" is preferred (like  to  ).
 * Changing these:
 * Dot in compound words?
 * Anti-capitalization. Stress can be set with capitals though.
 * "If the name contains an impermissible consonant pair, insert a vowel between the consonants: “y” is recommended."
 * "No cmene may have the syllables “la”, “lai”, or “doi” in them, unless immediately preceded by a consonant. If these combinations are present, they must be converted to something else. Possible substitutions include “ly”, “ly'i”, and “dai” or “do'i”, respectively."
 * Put a dot at the end, and a dot at the front if it starts with a vowel.
 * Simply add "me la" around it.

 * Simply add "me la" around it.
 * Simply add "me la" around it.

Stage 3

 * Start with Stage 2, but skip the last two steps. Starting with.
 * Since it's an entire word, the dot in the compound should be replaced with an "e" or another vowel.
 * No "y"s. Use an "e" or something.
 * The last letter should actually be a vowel. Yeah. This can be done by removing a consonant or adding a new vowel. Removing a consonant is more appropriate if you had to add one before. We'll add one here, since "tech" was an important part of the original word. "i" is often use when adding.
 * The first letter must be a consonant. This can be done by removing the first vowel or adding a new consonant.
 * "A rafsi is then usually attached to the beginning of the Lojbanized form, using a hyphen [usually r, or n] to ensure that the resulting word doesn’t fall apart.". This is like a category of sorts. For example, (spaghetti) uses  (rafsi of, food). We'll use , which roughly means change, or mod.

Stage 4

 * Did you expect this stage to be complicated? It's not, really. Do stage 3, but skip the last part.

Which stage should I use?
Well, it depends, of course.
 * Stage 1- generally discouraged, especially if you don't plan to use it more than once.
 * Stage 2- good for some things, like maybe items and blocks that won't be mentioned much more then on the pages about them.
 * Stage 3- largely used things, important items and blocks, whatever.
 * Stage 4- largest. Mod names, important concepts (like mana).
