I spent a fair bit of time speaking in Lojban to my nearest
available 1 year old, and one phrase I hadn't quite figured
out is "come here!"

I gather that I could say: "ko bu'umi zvati"

Good?  Is there something better?  I think I've been hung up
on this one by the short and imperative nature of the English
statement.
