decompositions were unambiguous. Note that a PEG grammar, unlike a YACC
grammar, does not prove this, because PEG grammars silently override
ambiguities using the rule "first = best". That isn't good enough for
Lojban morphology, so I consider the CLL proposal a dead letter.
Fu'ivla lujvo have their own problems, because you have to make sure

that you can enunciate them as single words with no pauses or additional
stresses. "Zei" compounds don't have those problems.
