[lojban] nth letter of the alphabet

[Pierre Abbat <phma@phma.optus.nu>]

I wrote an article [[i]] on the Lojban Wiktionary in which the first 
definition says that it's a letter of the alphabet. On the English 
Wiktionary, letters of the alphabet are given their ordinal number. In 
Lojban, y'y, slaka bu, and denpa bu come before abu. I have no qualm with 
counting y'y as a letter, but what about slaka bu and denpa bu? Slaka bu 
makes no difference to the identity of a word, only its pronunciation, and 
denpa bu does not occur within words.
