I believe the absolutely traditional way to say it would be {la jyj. lyl. byb. smit.}, but it would probably make sense just to say {la jylybyb. smit.} I'm generally against trying to analyze cmene, but if there's one kind of cmene you can analyze it would be acronyms, because the processes for making them are described in such detail. -- Rob Speer
