Both are right.

>correct? {la lojban.} is a cmeme - there is no need for a {cu}?

It is correct but not what you want. {nu mi cilre fi la lojban}
is itself a selbri, which can form a tanru with {xamgu},
so you have {le (nu mi cilre fi la lojban) (xamgu)}.

Because you can have tanru of the form {broda se brode}.
{klama se tcika} is a tanru.

>mu'o mi'e .iens.gutsait. (or is mi'e ... enough? What is the

{mu'o} indicates that your transmission is over. {mi'e}
indicates who you are.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
