"la'e zo ui" means "what the word {ui} refers to", which is a state of happiness, not a selma'o. As to "la'o ly. UI .ly", I'm not sure how to pronounce it. I think we should also have Lojban words for parts of speech, such as attitudinal, conjunction, and discursive, which don't coincide with the selma'o. phma
