Thus {zoi zoi. borzoi .zoi} is a valid quotation. About {zoi ly.
Lythraceae .ly.}, I'm not so sure.

  Not according to  the refgram, Chapter 19, section 10:
 
" Its syntax is ``zoi X. text .X'', where X is a Lojban word (called the delimiting word) which is separated from the quoted text by pauses, and which is not found in the written text or spoken phoneme stream."

  Maybe this is different under  dotside??  Or are suggesting it's fine in writing, but not spoken due to the existence of spaces/nonspaces?
