That would invalidate both "cmacrntegrale" and "bangrblgaria". I don't think 
it's necessary to require this, as the set of foreign words beginning 
with "rn" or "rln" or other consonant clusters that give this trouble is 
pretty small compared to the set of foreign words that begin with valid 
medials that aren't valid initials.

Should the Book be edited to
1. specify that if a fu'ivla can be interpreted as beginning with CVC or CVCC, 
then CVCC takes precedence? I think this would be a clarification, not a 
change.
2. specify that a type-3 fu'ivla cannot begin with CVV or CCV? This would be a 
change, and would require removing the example "djarspageti".
