BPFK Section: lerfu Posted by rab.spir on Sat 15 of Nov, 2003 17:40 GMT posts: 152 Use this thread to discuss the BPFK Section: lerfu page.
Posted by rab.spir on Sat 15 of Nov, 2003 17:47 GMT posts: 152 You should put in a usage note that clarifies that a string of lerfu, on its own, is a pronoun that stands for some other object, not for that string of letters, and that the way you spell something is with me'o.

Posted by pycyn on Mon 24 of Nov, 2003 00:25 GMT posts: 2388 The lerfu section is OK so far as it goes, but it is not very far along: no spelling anything but Lojban, no alternate alphabets (or is that another section?), nothing about compounds (e.g., scope), usage? ... Good start, though.

Good start, though. The lerfu section is *only* BY2 and BY*. Why are you expecting spelling in languages other than Lojban, or alternate alphabets? -Robin
Posted by bancus on Sat 03 of Jan, 2004 22:44 GMT posts: 52 Regarding the "close-comma" paragraph, John Cowan commented: This is historical Loglan terminology, which uses the close-comma (i.e. a comma between two letters) in this function and the open-comma (a comma followed by a space) in the function of Lojban period. He also clarifes the inclusion of the Other Lerfu: They were originally inserted as suggestive examples.
