Pronouncing the glide as if it were a separate syllable doesn't break anything (much like pronouncing "na" as if it were two syllables "n,a") although it does make it more likely that it could be confused with something else.So I don't know exactly what you mean by {i,avla} and {mi,avla} here. Am I hopelessly confused?I was addressing your proposal to forbid ia in fu'ivla/ma'ovla except word-initially, because i,a and i'a are too close. I don't understand why they are more distinct word-initially than in other parts of the word.mu'o mi'e xorxes
