I'm baffled as to which articles, or abstractions, I would use to
specify a word itself, and not its meaning. For example, "Bye is a
short form of goodbye." The example I was using at the time was {vol
rafsi volfi}. That starts to look like a tanru, so I tried to put
something in to break up rafsi and volfi. Only think I could come up
with is {vol rafsi zo volfi}. That borrows from (now optional)
English grammar rules. I'm sure it gets the point across, but I'm
sure there is a better way to do it.
As for your first try, istead of {vol rafsi volfi}, it should be {vol
cu rafsi vofli}. {cu} indicates when the selbri starts. But, you need
to use a quotation in order to tell that you are speaking of the
words. So, it would give: {zo vol cu rafsi zo vofli}.
