Christmas



I just thought of something:

jeiuzo - Jesus
jeiuzojonmo - give birth to Jesus
jeiuzojonmodei - Jesus' Birthday (day of giving birth to Jesus)

That's a long word.  Would it lead to confusion if the letter-names were
used to make shortened words?  Thus
j-dei (jeidei)
Defined as Xmas?

I'm a little concerned about the clashing of that with any letter-pronouns
in the sentence.

jonzo don hon go j-dei.   John gave me a book on Xmas.

Now, a human being will know what that means, and not think it's John-Day,
but when dealing with a computer or a lawyer, it would be written out
jeiuzojonmodei.

Easter could be jeiuzofandei - Jesus return day, or jeifandei, or j-fandei.
