Just a minor grammatical point about your letter, van.. You cannot
cluster a cmavo together with another if it starts with a vowel
(as you have done below with *"i.iua" and *".iuisai" without
putting a pause (period or space in written lojban) before it. So
that should be either ".i uisai" or ".i.uisai"
Thank you for your comment Michael, I actually agree with you
in that it's hard to read text without these spaces / pauses.

{doi la selpa'i} I think I understand your point.
Do you at least agree, that _it makes sense_ to insert spaces or pauses
in such places with the "standard" alphabet because of garden path effects?

It doesn't make sense to add denpa bu, but you are free to add spaces to facilitate reading. The space is entirely optional though.


I mean if you mistake { ... .iuaiiue ... } for { ... .iuaiiu ... }
when chatting with your partner that could have a serious impact
on your relationship...

Can't happen. It's clearly {.i ua ii ue}. The second one is not grammatical.
