Just last week I drew a survey of lot 28A, or something like that, in block A, and I had to refer to both maps to figure out that the A in 28A is not the block letter. (Blocks are more often denoted by numbers, but sometimes by letters. Either way I'd use "moi" in Lojban.) The old map had been revised, and the new map had more blocks than the ones they replaced, so they added "A" to the block numbers, giving a lot 6 in block A (on the old map) next to lot 6A in block A (on the new map, being most of lot 5 on the old). I'd say "lo rebi.abumoi tumspi be lo .abumoi tumbli" (or whatever the word is for "block" on a plat). I've also seen map numbers with A or B on the end, which does not occur in Mecklenburg County, but is common in one of the adjacent counties.
