Hi,

What's the best way to quote pure sounds?

I'm thinking of something like "mkgnao" - a cat's complaint.

{zo m,k,g,nauk.}?

Or {zoi my. m,k,g,nau .my.}?

Or even {zoi my. mkgnao .my.}?

Is it actually legit to put Lojban text in zoi "non-Lojban quote" quotes?

Is there any other way of avoiding having to mangle the sound to fit cmene
morphology?

Thanks,

Martin
