I'm reminded of how Jorge translated "curiouser and curiouser" as
{cizra je ci'izra}.

Most writing in Lojban renders speech in an idealized form, which I
suppose is true in English as well.  Occasionally people do write
Lojban in a way that seems to textually represent different ways of
producing the sounds of words, for instance there was a while when it
was popular to say {.yyyyy.} to mean a very long, very uncertain {.y.}
(though that usage is waning).  It would be interesting to read a
story that used messy realistic transcriptions for the dialog, perhaps
in {zoi} quotes.
