Intension was probably not that specifically thought out, but looking at 
the cmavo list, the definition of lu'a is more compatible than lu'i, since 
it specifically mentions components of a mass.

Of course there are probably a zillion arguments why this is wrong, and the 
question should be put to byfy, which won't give you an answer right away, 
but it will get on the list of issues to be addressed.

(one use of request tracker that still might be appropriate for byfy would 
be as a way for people to input issues like this that need to be 
decided.  That way requestors don't need to decide which forum something 
belongs in - which should be decided by Nick.  See if he agrees._
