I like {rain} better, since the comma doesn't add anything relevant.

{rain}, {rai,n}, {r,ain}, {ra,in}, {r,ai,n}, {r,a,in}, {ra,i,n},
{r,a,i,n} are all one
and the same word in Lojban. The comma can be used to indicate a
preferred syllabification, but it doesn't change the word, and the same
could be said of stress, since syllabification and stress are not
significant in Lojban cmevla.

(You can pronounce {xor,xes}, {xo,r,xes}, or any other permissible
variant, it makes no difference.)
