Re: [bpfk] camxes and syllabification in zi'evla




(4) cmevla introduce dot-consonant and consonant-dot, and currently a
whole lot of other things.

I think restricting cmevla to standard syllables, vocalic and
consonantal, is basically rich enough. Indeed, it may be too flexible
in allowing V-V hiatus: "koreas." is made of valid syllables, but is
IMO unlojbanic.
By my reading, camxes won't allow a nucleus to follow a vowel/diphthong under any circumstances, so *{koreas} is not allowed, even as a zifcme (and I agree it's naljbo).
I would prefer that fu'ivla did not introduce consonantal
syllables. They were added to make type-3 fu'ivla possible, with their
CrC clusters, but that could be easily managed with CyrC instead, only
requiring a coda for y syllables (which are not currently used outside
of cmevla).

Violates rule 4. Consonantal syllables suck, but I think we are stuck
with them.
Sorry, what's rule 4? I'm guessing it has to do with backwards compatibility?
