Is lojban phonology as underspecified as I think? Or is there some
restriction on the modification of consonant sounds in consonant
clusters? English has a number of these modifications, and an English
speaker might carry these over to lojban. For example, in the word
{citka}, an English speaker will almost always pronounce the 't' not
as a alveolar plosive, but as an alveolar stop. I'm sure there are
other examples. Is this sort of thing to be avoided?
