I suggest {jo'u} instead of {.e}, otherwise it says that Y is the most famous,
Z is the most famous, and T is the most famous.

If you don't have a predicate like "most famous" in the sentence, you can
use {me} for "among" as in:

 xy finti lo so'i cukta noi ybu jo'u zy jo'u ty me ke'a
 X wrote many books; Y, Z and T among them.

(Here {.e} would be OK too.)
