I agree with someone who wrote to me that the sentence
Will mupong tera'ngan actually does mean "Terrans call me Will",
as was clearly the intention. My problem was that I couldn't
figure out the grammatical role of the name if it was not the direct
object; I figured it out on further reflection.
(re my translation of Will Martin's post).

(certainly hoping that no one gets the impression that I was
trying to _correct_ anything; I was really confused.)
