It depends on what you mean by "allowed". If you mean allowed as a
permitted variant, as CLL describes on p. 31 (3.3), then I think that
the answer is yes: it's a voiceless fricative not already used in
Lojban. Still, as CLL says one sentence later, "the convenience of the
listener should be regarded as paramount in deciding to use a
substitute for [h]." (i.e., don't use it. :-)
