Oh right, {fa'o}!  I guess we already have that direction, then, and
we just need its opposite perhaps.  Incidentally, {fa'o} is rather
often used these days!  Some of us have started using it on Twitter
and other microblogging sites, to separate the Lojban text from any
mentions or tags that follow it, like: "mi tavla fo lo melbi fa'o
#lojban #conlang @lojbab"
