Again, you did not read properly. I never said <u> is never a
vowel. It is just not a vowel when another vowel follows, as in
{ui}.

Vowels are such by convention, not
pronunciation: to say that a letter is a vowel because it is
a 'vowel sound' causes all sorts of exponentially and
rapidly increasing problems. Is that to say U can't possibly
be a vowel in English either, because it's pronounced as W
in words such as 'quick'?
.y bu is not "u". .u bu is. And the u in ui is not pronounced
[u] but [w] which *is* a consonant. Some here seem to lack
reading comprehension. It's annoying to argue with people who
won't listen to what the other person is saying.
Whether or not something is a vowel depends on the way it's
pronounced, not the way it's written.

It is, and it always does require a pause in
front of it. Miles is wrong.

- "The initial period can never be omitted before
vowels (if they are phonetically vowels.
{ui} = [wi], so no dot is necessary). "
- "ui does not begin in a vowel.
Therefore, no denpa bu is needed."
Well... I am really shocked! How is it that "u" is not
a vowel? It IS a vowel or I should start learning
again Lojban from zero: it's name is indeed ybu, isn't
it?
(Chapter 1 of Lojban for beginners, Chapter 2 of
CLL)...
