But if Lojban syllabification is essentially CV (or simplex onset + simplex nucleus), give or take any complications with glides, why bother with a bunch of morphophonological constraints? Is it just because they are codified in CLL (albeit in erroneously phonological terms) and therefore cannotbe abandoned? Would abandoning morphophonological constraints invalidate existing words or text?Abandoning the constraints against double consonants, voiced-unvoiced clusters, sibilant-sibilant clusters, x-c/k clusters and mz would not invalidate anything, as far as I can tell.
The distinction between valid and invalid "onsets" is mostly what is needed to delimit words.mu'o mi'e xorxes--
