I'd like to know how the 'dot' is named in lojban. :) > > Thanks! I don't know why most people prefer to use the dots, probably because most people use them. The usual answer for the name of the dot is {denpa bu}. However, {denpa bu} is not a name, it is a lerfu. Lerfu are used in lojban as pronouns. To talk about the dot, we could say {lo galxyfanta lerfu}, "the glottal-stop letter". mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
