Er.. isn't it= :

zai [alphabet name] [1st word in the alphabet] [2nd word in the al= phabet]

?
 
No, I don't think so.

It changes the alphabet of all following lerfu. CLL gives
this example: {zai xanlerfu bu ly o bu jy by a bu ny}
which apparently spells the word "lojban" in sign
language. {zai xanlerfu bu} says that all coming lerfu
are in sign language. As you can see, the alphabet
used for writing all the words is just the usual Latin =
one throughout. It's just that the word {ly} now instead of
relating to the sign "L" it relates to the hand sign for tha= t
letter. I have no idea when something like this would be
useful, though. I think the whole lerfu shifts are a waste
of cmavo.
 
 
Or rather:
zai [alphabet indi= cator letter] [a letter meaning a letter in the alphabet]
(according to = what jbofihe says:
0[{<(1zai a bu)1 e bu> BOI} VAU])0
)
 
 
Here {a bu} names the new alphabet, and {e bu} is the lerfu
of the new alphabet which is being used. But used for what?

>>It's an edited alphabet,= isn't it?

It looks better.
And I had thought that zai was for switching Lo= jban orthographies.
 
Can you give an example sentence of how you would use it?
