These flag names are actually from the MUX list, but they should do from whatever server a Lojban MU* ends up on.

The Lojban translation has little to do with the idiosyncratic English names, in some places.

I apologize to the many people to whom this is gobbledygook, but this could become important for a Lojban MU*.
