There are 18 valid (morphological) codas: the 17 consonants and the empty coda.
I guess it's at least 17, because each of the 17 Cs can occur word-medially before another C that it can't occur word-initially before?
I don't understand the question.
Is it the case that each of the 17 Cs can occur at the start of a cluster that is licit in the middle of a word but not at the start of a word.
Unrelatedly, what's the basis for allowing CCC onsets? Does CLL expressly licence CCC in fu'ivla? The licitness of CCC onsets can't be derived from gismu, lujvo, cmavo. And does CLL forbid CCCC onsets in fu'ivla? (I'm being lazy, here, aren't I. If that's annoying, do remonstrate with me and I'll search online before asking.)
Just the former. I would not want to categorize "poktpftcu" for
example as a valid word.
But is that for any reason other than habit?
Probably not. It just doesn't look like lojban to me.
If you're describing rather than defining the language, then that's okay, I suppose.
