Intension was probably not that specifically thought out, but looking at the cmavo list, the definition of lu'a is more compatible than lu'i, since it specifically mentions components of a mass. Of course there are probably a zillion arguments why this is wrong, and the question should be put to byfy, which won't give you an answer right away, but it will get on the list of issues to be addressed. (one use of request tracker that still might be appropriate for byfy would be as a way for people to input issues like this that need to be decided. That way requestors don't need to decide which forum something belongs in - which should be decided by Nick.
