Discussion of "ybu"

Comment #1: Not grammatical official entry :-(
Wuzzy (Tue Jun 30 08:19:40 2015)

?ybu? is not a valid string in Lojban, saying ?ybu? in Lojban would be not
grammatical. There must be a glottal stop after ?y?.
Valid would be y bu or y.bu.

I've always thought of ybu as special anyway, since y is grammatically
invisible anywhere else. Since ybu always begins with a glottal stop, I
don't believe the existence of this "unconventional cmavo" would break
self-segregation.

Oh and please don't downvote all the translations just because of an issue
like this. A vote-score of 0 or less would prevent propagation to collators
like vlasisku or sutysisku; this is not desirable for an official entry.

la .camxes. is the parser used by jbovlaste and it has no problem with
ybu. It is special-cased in the
informal morphology description and in the
parser itself.
