[lojban-beginners] Onomatpoeia



Okay, I'm sure I've seen something about this before, but I can't find it, so:

How are onomatopoeias handled in Lojban? For those who don't know already, I'm referring to things like "Moo", "Oink", "Bang!" and such.

Is <zoi> quoting the only way, as in <le bakni cusku zoi by. moo .by.> ("The cow says 'Moo'."), or is there some other, less wordy alternative, like being able to say <zo karce> instead of <lu karce li'u> for Lojban quotes?
