[bpfk] CLL: The lujvo making algorithm

[Jorge Llambías <jjllambias@gmail.com>]

The lujvo making algorithm contains this sentence: "It is illegal to
add a hyphen at a place that is not required by this algorithm."

I propose that that sentence be removed.

The PEG grammar allows a -y- hyphen after any CVC- rafsi, and it
allows an -r- hyphen after any CVV- rafsi, no matter whether it is
required or not.

This was discussed a while ago and we decided it was ok to allow them
even when not required. Unfortunately I have no idea how or where to
search for that discussion.

The argument was that, for example, if you are used to the form
"cakyrespa", there is no harm in allowing the form "cakyrespyzda" as
well even though "cakrespyzda" would also be fine.

Similarly, if you are used to "li'erla'i", there should be no problem
in allowing "tolyli'erla'i" along with "tolyli'ela'i".

You should be able to build on existing lujvo without being forced to
remove hyphens that become unnecessary in the longer form.
