Now there is nothing difficult about "mast-la", but our parsers are set up

camxes won't accept two consonants in the coda at all. 

cmevla aside, that is. In cmevla pretty much anything goes, even something like .ktktkptkp. is a valid cmevla now. But it's not a jbocmevla. jbocmevla has to consist of valid syllables, and the only exception for codas in cmevla is at the end of the word and it must have syllabic+consonant form.
 
I think that's
an unnecessary limitation, as if "mast-la" were simpler than "mast-xla".

camxes accepts neither. It does accept mas-tl-xa, because of the syllabic "tl".
