If a > non-letter-word was used then it won't be needed: "zoi zoi. something .zoi" I feel like it's way too much freedom, choosing any word I want as the delimiter! I never really know what to use. I've been using "gy" a lot because it's what I learned years & years ago; I think the idea was that "gy" made sense to quote "glico" text. Right now I feel like I'm leaning towards using "zoi" as a delimiter more, since it already has a sense of quotation in it, & I like the sound of "zoi zoi"! mu'o mi'e. bret.
