For one thing, you don't want to be using me'o at all. Spelling isn= 't math.

The only way I know of to spell a word without using ce= 'o between each letter is with lo'u ... le'u:

lo'u b= y. .abu ry. dy. .abu le'u tadji lonu ciska lu barda li'u

I think we should have a lujvo for the relationship between a word and
its spelling.
Its definition could be
=A0 "x1 is a spelling of word x2."

Currently, my best attempt at expressing that in lojban is
=A0 {ko'e valsi fi'o lerfu porsi ko'a},
inspired by iesk (more ideas below). Am I missing a better possibility?

My current idea for a veljvo is {valsi ke lerfu porsi}, giving {vlakemlerpo= i}
({vlalerpoi} being possibly a string of letters (as opposed to other
letterals)).

An important thing to consider is how the spelling would be expressed. The<= br> straightforward representation of a {ce'o}-sequence of individual lette= rals
would give things like {me'o .e bu ce'o me'o .ybu li'o}, an= d these {ce'o me'o}
are distracting. CLL 17.2 suggests lerfu strings for the purpose of spellin= g.
I guess we could define the terjvo to be something like {me'o .ebu .ybu= li'o}.

What do you think? Any suggestions?
