This constraint has been contested. A possible revision would be to disallow only the glide with the corresponding semivowel, so "tai-ian" would still be disallowed but "tai-uan" would be ok. mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= BPFK" group.

There are also some constraints on which syllables can be adjacent: th= e final consonant of a syllable and the first consonant of the next syllabl= e can't be the same, they can't have different voicedness, they can= 't both be sibilants, if one is x the other can't be c or k, if the= first is m the other can't be z.

In addit= ion, some combinations are disallowed only because they give the same resul= t as some other combination, e.g. tav+la =3D ta+vla.

I for= got to list one more constraint: a syllable that ends with a diphthong cann= ot be followed by one that begins with a glide. This constraint has been co= ntested. A possible revision would be to disallow only the glide with the c= orresponding semivowel, so "tai-ian" would still be disallowed bu= t "tai-uan" would be ok.
