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.

- "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?

beginners, Chapter 2 of CLL)...
