.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.

so no dot is necessary). "

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)...
