I just realized you were probably using square brackets for IPA. So if I
understand correctly (relying on a Wikipedia chart here) [tuwitsku]
would be {tu uitsku}, gliding from the [u] to the [i], and [tuʔitsku] is
{tu .itsku} with a pause/glottal stop in between. As I understand it
Lojban is of the opinion that [tuitsku] is indistinguishable from
[tuwitsku].
However, the debated ?{tuitsku} is pronounced [twitsku].

I'm confused. {tuuitsku} breaks up into {tu uitsku}, no matter what we
do, but if CgV is disallowed then ?{tuitsku} would be invalid. The
separated words would be {tu .itsku} with the required pause.
I apologize in advance if I'm still talking past you and answering a
different question that what you asked.

I meant what Lojban word(s).
If [tuisku] is something other than {tuisku}, e.g. {tu uisku}, then
{tuisku} should be illicit; otherwise it should be licit.
