You can use the lerfu "mu bu" and "ci bu". 

That would make digit-heavy character-strings extremely clunky. Besides, if we're going to have to define a new selma'o anyway to retain compatibility, it might as well be MEhO.

Or just use "lo'u" if what we want is just a string of characters without any internal grammar. But li/me'o take a mathematical _expression_, not just any character-string, one returns an _expression_ and the other returns its value. It would be strange for them to have different grammars, because then you couldn't distinguish the value from _expression_ by just choosing "li" or "me'o".
