And one more thing I would like to ask:

How do you express "triple periods" in lojban? For example, when someone start saying something but doesn't finish the sentence, but rather fade out in the middle of it, or similar cases.

Fading out like that can be ungrammatical in some cases, but in others it's something I'm not entirely sure how to render in Lojban.

    "co'e" would be the way that is analogous in most cases to a fadeout.  Like, you're driving along a dark deserted road, and suddenly, a UFO comes up, a beam envelops one of your passengers, and he fades out.  In shock, you can barely say, "la djan...co'e"
