In day-to-day use, such borrowing can be and in fact already are ''ad hoc'', without much damage being done -- mainly because all Lojbanists currently share English as a source of loans. For consistency and respectability, however, it is desirable to have canonical loan word forms, both in transliteration and in morphology, for inclusion in a Lojban dictionary. *((IPA to Lojban Mapping)) **The ((refgram)) gives a [http://www.lojban.org/files/reference-grammar/chap3.html#s2|Lojban to IPA Mapping], which should serve as the basis for any such proposal. *((Borrowing words from Graeco-Latin)) *((Borrowing from Loglan)) *((Borrowing from Klingon)) *((Making type-4 fu'ivla))
