Pierre's example was a number, not a lerfu string. The lerfu string
"re bu bi bu .a bu" is not really a replacement for the number "re bi
.a bu".

For "28-A" I would use "re bi xi .a bu", since the "A" there is
working as a specifier of the number 28.

Some examples of lerfu strings with numbers are also sometimes better
handled with "xi" instead of converting the digits into lerfu.
