"," is ce'o bu. What happened to slaka bu?

I remember changing to {ce'o bu} so that this part of ASCII table got at least some structure. Otherwise ()*+,-./ loses its reference to mathematics. Of course, this poses a question should full stop be {denpa bu}. Maybe {mu'o bu}. Definitely we can use letteralize {.i} (sentence separator).
Also full stop/comma are used as decimal separator and for groups of digits like in "1,002.56" although this is not culturally neutral and can cause confusion. Is there an ISO-standard for that? other than that {ki'o bu} and {pi bu} could be used making
()
+-*/
.,
sets somewhat organized.


 

If "$" is rupnu bu, what is "¤"?
 
runpusudu bu then? But the symbol "$"  is used for different currencies.


I used to call ":" {pi'e bu}, but if there is no pi'e bu, that's fine.

it's used  in different places, both for pi'e and zo'u. i dont know what to prefer.
Besides it has other uses.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)
Maybe just {kolon bu} although then it's not not what to name semicolon.

Something that is worth {pi'e} in some cases like in DNS lookups can be expressed using full stop.
