Those are all the diphthongs.  The set of Lojban phonemes is intentionally
limited so that people of any native tongue can learn it easily.

Also, there's no need to capitalize the "A" in "alyn."  By default, emphasis is
placed on the second-to-last syllable, not the last, and syllables whose vowel
is "y" or which use syllabic consonants are not counted for this purpose.
Thus, "a" is the only syllable in "alyn." that can be emphasized without any
explicit indication otherwise.
