Re: [lojban] How to say "..." in Lojban, and how to split a quote?
"Splitting" quotes:
.i «lu mi krici —sei lo prenu cu cusku— lo du'u ko'a broda li'u»

I would hope that what I'm asking is obvious, but just in case, here's
an example of both. I would guess that these both could be handled in
the same way in Lojban:
Critic: "I would tend to believe, what with the current trend in
popular music, the continued decline of record label power due to such
things as iTunes, and various other factors, that the music industry
is currently undergoing a complete overhaul. Whether this is a good
thing or not probably depends mostly on whether you're a consumer,
artist, or record exec."
"...": "I ... believe ... that the industry is currently undergoing a
complete overhaul...."
Split quote: "I would tend to believe", said the critic, "what with
the <blah blah not typing all that again>."
I'm not asking for a translation of that exact text, it's just
something I made up on the spot to illustrate the question. I'm asking
for how to do those /techniques/ in Lojban.
