Re: [lojban] lujvo using {bu}

The ideas suggested in this thread are pretty good, but it seems like {lerfu}'s rafsi could do the same. However, {bu}, not having a formal place structure lets us cheat the jvojva a bit. If we want to adhere to the rules *and* use {lerfu}'s rafsi, then we wind up with irritating lerfu2 and lerfu3 places.

A real-life example of a bu rafsi is {depybu'i} to refer to the glottal stop character. This word has been used several times on IRC.

Answering another of my questions, tsani mentioned {mobu}, {dubu}, etc.

By the power of {bu} they are "letterals" like any other BY, and is all fine to me.

I was really surprised when I noticed that {bu} has two rafsi: {-bus-} and {-bu'i-}. I wonder what a lujvo made with {bu} may mean.

Of course  {broda bu} must be different from {rodbu'i}: the first one is a BY, the latter is a brivla.

Has anyone put a thought on this?
