Is there any simple generally-recognized way = to use sound effects in lojban? For example:

ca le nu lemi bruna cu tirna le nu mi tavla fi lo = lojbau kei kei by cu cusku zo klik

Does that work? Does that say what I want it to say? I think it does, because zo is a "magic word" and = klik looks like a cmene, but what if I wanted it inside an utterance, like, = "The dog says, 'Arf!, I want some meat.'"? Would I have to say the extremely clunky: le gerku cu cusku lu zoi gy arf gy .i mi djica tu'a lo = rectu li'u ?

Also, while I'm on the subject, is there a way to put connectors between FA pieces? I would have really liked to have = said something in the first sentence like

(ungramattical) "…. mi tavla fi jabo fo lo = lojbau…." (in other words, when I talk in or about = lojban…)
