Hm, maybe beginner questions (yes, I am), but:

   - What about the hesitation ".y." that we emit, in practice, when we did 
   not finish our sentence but are still looking for what to say next (
   http://lojban.github.io/cll/19/14/)?
   - Isn't it intended that ".i" is at the beginning? That way, a 
   (relatively long) silence is always interpreted as the end of your sentence 
   (as you rightly pointed out). Doesn't this avoid the speaker from "stealing 
   / monopolizing" the communication channel by never closing his/her sentence?

Well, my two cents...
