I like {rain} better, since the comma doesn't add anything relevant. {rain}, {rai,n}, {r,ain}, {ra,in}, {r,ai,n}, {r,a,in}, {ra,i,n}, {r,a,i,n} are all one and the same word in Lojban. The comma can be used to indicate a preferred syllabification, but it doesn't change the word, and the same could be said of stress, since syllabification and stress are not significant in Lojban cmevla. mu'o mi'e xorxes (You can pronounce {xor,xes}, {xo,r,xes}, or any other permissible variant, it makes no difference.)
