1. {bu} is used after vowels to anaphorically reference LA/LE-sumti with
sumti tails that start with the same vowel.
2. {bu} is proposed by gejyspa in {nu bu} and {du'u bu} to reference
sumti that have sumti tails that start (or probably contain at main
level) {nu} or {du'u} abstractions.
bu is supposed to take a word and convert it into a symbol. Thus abu
doesn't itself anaphorically reference anything. It is simply the lerfu
"a". However, when used in a sentence, it could mean anything the lerfu
a could mean, which in many languages includes use as a variable, and
therefore could be an anaphoric reference. JCB frequently used lefru as
anaphora in his English and Loglan usage, and we preserved this in Lojban.
