The aleph is pronounced like the dot:
na'a - cancel all letteral shifts - like "naha" but shorter
na.a - only if - this is actually two words (na "not" and a "or") written as
one.
"m'od" would be written "m.od" in Lojban, but if that occurred in Lojban, most
likely all three letters would be in different words: "la .avra'AM .o do"
(Abraham if and only if you).
