A full stop in lojban represents a pause in speech. You need to pause in
speech to show that the next word begins with a vowel, or that you have
finished saying a name.

English uses a full stop to separate sentences. The way to separate
sentences in lojban is to use the word "i". Because it's a word beginning
with a vowel, it is normally written with a full stop before it. eg

ti mlatu .i ta gerku
This is a cat. That is a dog

But it is the word "i", not the full stop that is separating the sentences.

The word in lojban for the full stop is "denpabu", ie "the pause letter"
