What constitites a medium is somewhat uncertain, but I would not rule out including a language name in that place, relying on the intensionality of names to get around semantic diuffulties. Probably of course, a medium place is an abstraction like lenu tavla, in which case properly the expression should be tu'a la lojban. As I said in another message, I remove places from a lujvo by declaring them irrelevant, generall using "claxu" after a semantic expression of the term to be eliminated. lojbab
