a native or inhabitant of the Moon
Be those Lunarians false or true.
On my descent to the moon, I was struck with the thought that it was impossible for the Lunarians to form any idea respecting me; the sphere in which I moved, or the regions whence I had descended. Was I an inhabitant of another planet?
[W]atched with much interest the putting up of a huge impost on a couple of lintels in the new temple at Daphnis in the moon. It was amusing to think that creatures so diminutive as the lunarians and bearing so little resemblance to humanity, yet evinced a mechanical ingenuity so much superior to our own. One finds it difficult, too, to conceive the vast masses which these people handle so easily, to be as light as our reason tells us they actually are.
One of them was fortunate enough to discover an even more precious relic of the ancient lunarians.
You might get married to some pretty bouncing Lunarian!
A Lunarian, preparing to leave, looked up from a rock he had been studying.

Shoes. If Lunarians wear them, they tend to be the soft kind, like moccasins, or socks.
