Re: [lojban] completely off-topic

I'm sure you're aware of the names of the at least the majority of the letterals in Lojban ( {.abu}, {by.}, etc.). The names of "." and "," in Lojban are, respectively, {denpa bu} and {slaka bu}.

The Dot Side doesn't refer to using letterals as pro-sumti, as in the {by.} in {la.benjis. gerku .i by. barda}. It refers to the practice of leading cmevla with a "." so that the latterals groups "la", "lai", and "doi" can be used in them. (As for example {la.doitcland.} or {la.las,andjeles.}).

Because I'm talking about the letteral ".", not the mathematical _expression_ {pi}.

Why don't you use {me'o denpa bu}? I understand your {denpa bu} as an anaphora. A kind of unusual one, since word-initial glottal stops are ignored in the letterals-as-pro-sumti tradition. {me'o denpa bu goi denpa bu}? ;)
