But to be more realistic and hence more conservative, my reading of what xorxes said camxes does, namely make every string analysable as a sequence of CVs, sounds like the best rule.

We can postulate that as the underlying rule, if the four diphthongs ai, au, ei, oi are instances of V, and ., ', i and u are instances of C, and if we allow the buffer vowel to be inserted between consonants and i/u glides, and after the final consonant of a cmevla at the end of a string.

But camxes doesn't know anything about the buffer vowel, so the surface rules are somewhat more complicated. A syllable for camxes can be as long as CCCVVC.
