I'm hoping that the "1!" is a typo and should be "!!", or else I'll never understand this language. (Unless it's 1337, but that doesn't fit the rest.) Beginning words with periods is confusing enough ^_^.
The "1!" is not a typo. Lojban doesn't have a word for "subject" in the grammatical sense, so I said "sumti in place 1", which is close enough, and then closed the sentence with an exclamation mark. The periods are needed to distinguish among ".io.a", ".i.o'a", and ".i'o.a".

What *is* this language/script, anyway? I've seen it here a couple of times.
See the [[Lojban]] article.
mu'omi'e .pier.
mu'omi'e .tobi.
"tobi" means "(8" and can't be a name. Having people named And (a Lojbanist) is confusing enough; there is now an article about a place named Them.
