From the place-structure of "valsi", shouldn't "zoi gy. gnome .gy" not
go into the X2 place of fu'ivla instead of into X4?:
.i zo cridrnoma fu'ivla zoi gy. gnome .gy le glibau
I wonder if there shouldn't actually go an abstract cmavo (e.g. du'u)
in front of the "zoi gy. gnome .gy"
(My attempt to say "Yes -- 'cridrnoma' is a fu'ivla copied from the
English
word 'gnome'.")
(Question: Are both of {.i xu lu cridrnoma li'u fu'ivla} and {.i xu zo
cridrnoma fu'ivla} equally acceptable?)
I don't see how any of the two would be less acceptable, well except
"zo" is just much more elegant.

No need to say goodbye quite so soon! :)
If I close with "mu'o" instead of "co'o" , does this imply I should
leave out "coi" in my next mail (unless I greet someone I have not
specifically greeted yet)?
But when it is meant to emulate the iMac commercials
It's not :) http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1192835 is one
explanation of where it came from, IIRC.
Oh, now that I've been reading this summary, I start to remember that
episode.

Is "cridrnoma" a loan-word (about something related to fairies)?
Yes.
