Those two pairs would be allowed in cmevla and fu'ivla too, although I don't remember any actual cases of usage. The status of aa, ee, and oo is not as yet settled. At least one proposal would not allow them, together with any other nucleus-nucleus clash such as ae, ao, ea, eo, oa, oe. {yyyyy} is a special case, as it is not even clear that it can be considered a word. If it is a word, however, it's the same word as {y}, just written funny. mu'o mi'e xorxes
