Re: [lojban] lujvo for "spelling"? (was Re: [lojban-beginners] How do you write "Eyjafjallajökull"? (a sentence from tatoeba))

I see the discussion drifted too much towards the nature of a spelling.
As long as the formal character of a spelling makes it practical when
spoken, I am satisfied. In that way, lu / lo'u / me'o quotes look equally
fine so far. Furthermore, if different people use different styles, there
will be no comprehension difficulty.

With regards to the lujvo itself, I don't remember any suggestions or
opinions. Are you fine with {vlakemlerpoi}? What would you define as
{lerpoi} and {vlalerpoi}?

My current opinion is that {lerpoi} is a good candidate for the relevant
grammatical concept of lerfu string, {vlale'u} could be a letteral of the
kind that appears in words, i.e., a regular letter, and then {vlalerpoi}
would be a vlale'u string. Leaving {vlakemlerpoi} as a lerfu string that
is associated with an actual word.

Do you agree with this? In that case, the decision of how to refer to a
spelling could be based on how we want to refer to a lerfu string.
