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.

It's actually rather complicated. Done.

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.

The lerfu section is *only* BY2 and BY*.

Why are you expecting spelling in languages other than Lojban, or alternate alphabets?

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.

^Use as variables in mekso:

.i fy du li cire su'i vei cy pi'i so fi'u mu ve'o ^

I think that should be {li fy} in this example, otherwise fy is used as a prosumti rather than as a mekso variable.
