The sound ø, is, as far as I can see, impossible to do in the current set of sounds that Lojban offer.This is a big flaw if it's true!!!Serval names are impossible to convert, and the language pronouncification don't utilize the humans voice inertly.So is this true, is Lojban incomplete, and if this is intentional, what would you do with a name like Søren ØstergårdSo should we add n

When you lojbanize a name or fu'ivla, you convert sounds not present in Lojban to their nearest equivalent. The closest Lojban equivalent of ø is e. This is no worse than, for example, Lojbanizing the name Theodore to .tiodor. by replacing θ with t.
Isn't {y} like "ø"? It is like "ö" anyway. Call it a flaw all you like, no language support the full IPA natively and it would be well beyond the scope of lojban to do so. OMG we must support nonhuman sounds too! Where would you draw the limit? Human? Who defines human? ...
I think the point is not to support all possible sounds but to only support ones that are found in most of the largest languages and that don't sound similar. That is, not having uncommon sounds is a feature, not a bug.
