mu'onai One more thought: along with sibilants/dent= als, what about liquids? Those are more of a problem for me: without a prec= eding vowel, ?{lua} is comes out as {lu ua} or {ly ua}. Unfortunately ?{.in= fluenza} is in jbovlaste.

As for the larger question, I don= 't have a very strong opinion. I lean towards consistency (that would b= e banning it or allowing it everywhere).

So if we're approval-voting: 1.1.2 + 2. But I'= m open to being convinced otherwise.

I can live with this, but I'd prefer to ban it altogether.

It depends on in what way should it be= banned.=C2=A0
I vote for banning it from the formal grammar howe= ver, I vote for the preprocessor to be able to autocorrect {jie} back to {j= i'e}. Speech recognition must be able to recognize both variants.
