Sure, but what matters is the result, no? If I say "write the
unevaluated expression 'b'" and I get a "b" on a piece of paper, and
that's what I wanted to happen, then I've succeeded, haven't I?

Regardless, in a 100% lojbanic environment, the listener would just
write {by} on the paper if I told em/them/him/her {.i ko ciska me'o by
lo papri}.
Looking at the definition of {lerfu}, the gimste seems to suggest that
a letter can be referred to with {la'e zo BY}. Is it thus the case
that {la'e zo by ce'o abu ce'o...} (which is redundant to {la'e lo'u
by abu ... le'u}) is the correct way to give a letter list?

And, I think I should mention that you haven't answered my question.
How would you give a letter list? It's good and well to tell everyone
that they're wrong, but if you suggest no solutions, I'm afraid you're
only being unproductive.
