..... what happened to rigid rules of morphology so that you always know when you're dealing with a brivla vs a cmavo cluster vs. a cmevla vs. etc...?

Is there no hope of fixing these exceptions?  It rubs me the wrong way that the logical language would have exceptions.

"y" doesn't count, but fu'ivla can't contain "y" anyway.

The "5 letter" rule is not very reliable in any case. Some fu'ivla
don't have a CC in the first 5 letters, and some sequences with a CC
in the first five letters are not brivla.
