What!? All rC pairs are valid (except rr).

darxi, derxi, lorxu, marxa, rirxe, sarxe, sirxo, tirxu.

The proposal also included x- as the standard for words that start with
a vowel. I believe Lojban already uses x- to make some gismu from vowel 
starting words: xindo, xazdo, xelso, xrabo, xispo, xurdo, xexso.
I think "n-" would be a bad choice as a standard because it forces -l- 
for the joiner with an r-ending prefix.
