Er, how's that again?  "djatru" = "food-governor".  If that is supposed
to represent English "hlaefweard" > "hlaford" > "lord", it's probably
wrong: you need "nabybandu" or at most "djabandu".  If it means something
else, I don't get it.  Anyhow, it's a lousy lujvo for "Lord", capital "L".
In the same spirit, how about "mujytru"?

Also "fa" is Old Loglan; you want "ba", as in "balvi".
