OK, I didn't remember that CLL had that. In any case, such restriction
is not necessary, since there is no way that the "gy" or "jai" within
"gyrations", either in written text or as spoken, could be interpreted
as a delimiter. "gyrations" as written is a cmevla and "gy" cannot fall
off, and as pronounced it is also a cmevla or a foreign word, and "jai"
can't be separated either, so camxes will not have a problem with it.
The "fall-off" problem is presumably that AS SOON AS you hear(/see) that guard word/syllable, whatever, the quote is closed off, and the rest must be considered to be presumably valid lojban, and neither human nor computer parsers are expected to know it's an exception, since in a foreign quote there could be (as here) a pause before the word inside the quote.
