By the way, if I modify the "onset" rule from

onset <- h / consonant? glide / initial

to

onset <- h / glide / initial

This cuts out {saskrkuarka}, but {bangrblgaria} is saved by being parsed as {ban,gr,bl,GAR,ia} (whereas with the current PEG it parses as {ban,gr,bl,GA,ria}).

Is this how we would do it, if we end up prohibiting some or all CgV, or would it be more restrictive, like adding "!glide" at the end of the "consonant" rule (which does kill both of these examples)?

I'd say !glide after each consonant, same as !h. If we add it in the consonant rule, it would still allow a glide after a consonantal syllable, I think. This however would mean that CG is disallowed in all cmevla, and some traditional cmevla like "nitcion" become illegal.
