Comment #1:
Not grammatical official entry :-(

?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.
