> " - lubu
won't "lubu" be parsed as "lu bu" (and probably make the following
ungrammatical) ? 
The jbofi'e goes crazy with the even bridi "zo lubu cu valsi".

> $ - rupnu bu
this clashes with the "Yen" and "Cent" and "Euro" symbols
why not meryru'u bu ?
and ponru'ubu and ronru'ubu for others ?

> ( - tobu
> ) - toibu
same as "lubu" ?

> @ - abubu (?)
I never thought that "@" had anything to do with "a"... At least not in
the phonological sense...
I may be wrong, but isn't there more obvious meaning of the "@" that could
be used for its name ?
