[lojban] CLL erratum: “.ybu” vs “.y.bu”

["'Wuzzy' via lojban" <lojban@googlegroups.com>]

I think there is some inconsistency in the CLL regarding the letteral
for “y”, the letteral construction rules, and the cmavo “y”.

According to CLL, the letteral for “y” is “.ybu”

This is also reflected in jbovlaste. Here is the entry for “ybu”:
http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/ybu

This is an “officialdata” entry.


However, there is just one problem: The cmavo “y” requires pauses
before and after it:

So, why is it “.ybu” and not “.y.bu”?

Note the CLL also presents “.y'y.bu”, not “.y'ybu”, a few pages later.
(and “vy.bu” and “ky.bu”). 

I have found no rule in the CLL which would permit “.ybu”. AFAIK
the “period omitting rule” only applies if spaces are used. So “y bu”
would be fine IMO.

For me this seems to be a pretty stupid oversight.

Could the responsible person or persons please quickly confirm this
erratum? And resolve this conflict in the CLL?

Greetings!
