>(Would {pabu}, aside from being
>malglico, be usable for the indefinite "one", as in "one might think 
>that"?)

{pa} seems too definite for that. Maybe {no'obu}?
And what might {su'obu}, {robu}, etc. be?

>Test question: when you write out what is said as {abu prami by} is the
>written form exactly the same or is it {a prami b}?

It's either exactly the same or it is {A prami B}, never {a prami b}.

>Why?

Because otherwise we would not be able to tell appart {mi}
from {MI} = {my.ibu}.

>What about the Lojban for "CIA"?

{CIA} = {cy.ibu.abu} is a pronoun. The name of the agency
might be lojbanized as {la cias}, {la si,ai,eis} or something
else.
